Golden, crispy, and infused with the deep flavors of garlic, rosemary, and olive oil, these focaccia muffins are a twist on the classic Italian bread. They have a slightly chewy interior with a light, airy texture and a beautifully crisp crust. The garlic and rosemary provide a bold, earthy flavor, while a drizzle of high-quality olive oil gives them a luxurious finish.

Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the topping:

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Additions:

  • Grated Parmesan for extra savory depth
  • A sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat
  • Sun-dried tomatoes or olives for Mediterranean flair

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Dough – In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Stir to mix. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Pan – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray.
  3. Step 3: Shape the Muffins – Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place it into the greased muffin cups. Cover with a towel and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Add the Toppings – In a small bowl, mix garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Using your fingers, press dimples into each muffin dough ball. Spoon the garlic-rosemary mixture evenly over each muffin.
  5. Step 5: Bake to Perfection – Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and crisp. Let them cool slightly before removing from the pan. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, drizzle a little more olive oil on top before baking.
  • If using active dry yeast, dissolve it in warm water first and let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to the flour.
  • Store-bought focaccia seasoning can be used for convenience.
