Description
These Garlic Rosemary Focaccia Muffins are fluffy inside, golden outside, and packed with savory garlic and rosemary flavor. Perfect as a snack, side dish, or party bite!
Ingredients
For the Dough:
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
3 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
1 tbsp honey (or sugar)
2 tsp salt
For the Topping:
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp olive oil, for drizzling
1 tsp flaky or coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix warm water with honey and yeast. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy.
Stir in flour, salt, and olive oil until a sticky dough forms. Cover and let rise in a warm place 45–60 minutes, until doubled.
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil. Divide dough evenly into cups, filling ¾ full.
Drizzle each muffin with olive oil, then sprinkle with rosemary, garlic, and flaky salt.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes, rotating halfway, until golden brown.
Cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
Roast the garlic first for a sweeter, milder flavor.
Dough can be made ahead and left to rise overnight in the fridge.
Muffins freeze well—reheat at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to refresh.
