Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the warm water and olive oil, then stir until a sticky dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
3. Prepare the Muffin Pan: Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces, placing one piece in each muffin cup.
4. Add the Toppings: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the dough balls. Sprinkle on any optional additions like Parmesan or red pepper flakes.
5. Let the Muffins Rise: Cover the muffin tin and let the dough rest for 20 minutes to rise slightly.
6. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, until they’re golden brown and irresistibly crisp on the outside.
7. Serve and Enjoy: These muffins are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Pair them with soups, salads, or your favorite Italian dishes for a delightful savory treat.
Notes
Measure Ingredients Accurately: Precise measurements are key for achieving the right dough consistency and crumb texture.
Knead the Dough Thoroughly: Don’t skimp on the kneading – this step develops the gluten structure for a light, airy interior.
Let the Dough Rise Properly: Allowing the dough to rise fully before baking ensures maximum rise and a soft, pillowy texture.
Customize the Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different herb combinations, cheeses, or spices to create your own unique focaccia muffin variations.
Store Leftovers Correctly: Keep any uneaten muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
