Description
Soft and fluffy focaccia muffins infused with rosemary and roasted garlic, offering all the charm of traditional Italian bread in a convenient, single-serve form. Perfect as a snack, side dish, or party appetizer.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
¾ cup warm water (110°F)
¼ cup olive oil, plus more for brushing
4 cloves garlic, minced
1½ tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 2 tsp dried)
Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, sauté garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil over low heat for 2–3 minutes until golden. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with olive oil.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 8–10 portions. Press each portion into the muffin cups.
- Brush the tops with olive oil, press indentations with your fingers, and spoon garlic oil over each muffin.
- Sprinkle with rosemary and flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
