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

Scale

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

  1. In a large bowl, mix warm water with honey and yeast. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy.

  2. 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.

  3. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil. Divide dough evenly into cups, filling ¾ full.

  4. Drizzle each muffin with olive oil, then sprinkle with rosemary, garlic, and flaky salt.

  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes, rotating halfway, until golden brown.

  6. 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.
