Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 tsp salt
Topping Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- Additional olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it activate for about 5 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead and let rise: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Portion into muffin tin: Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, shaping each into a ball and placing them into each muffin cup.
- Add toppings: Press down gently on each dough ball to flatten slightly. Brush each muffin generously with olive oil. Distribute the sliced garlic and chopped rosemary evenly over the tops of the dough balls, pressing lightly so they adhere.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the focaccia muffins for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh rosemary with dried rosemary if needed; use about 1 tablespoon if dried.
- The garlic can be adjusted according to taste; more slices will add a stronger garlic flavor.
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For a softer crust, brush additional olive oil over the muffins right after baking.
- Make sure water is not too hot when activating yeast to avoid killing the yeast.
