Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
Toppings
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir until the mixture forms a shaggy but cohesive dough.
- Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Continue kneading until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, which helps develop gluten for a soft texture.
- Divide and Rise: Divide the dough evenly into 12 portions. Place each piece into the prepared muffin cups. Cover the tin and let the dough rise for 15 minutes until slightly puffy.
- Add Toppings: Brush the tops of each muffin generously with olive oil. Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped rosemary evenly over the tops for aromatic flavor.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the focaccia muffins warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese or crushed red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Reheat lightly in the oven to restore freshness if stored.
