Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or sugar)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin), plus more for drizzling
Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (flaky or coarse)
Instructions
- Dissolve Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in warm water. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Mix Dough: Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms. Cover and let rise for 45–60 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
- Portion Dough: Spoon risen dough into muffin cups, filling each ¾ full.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle olive oil over muffins. Sprinkle with rosemary, garlic, and sea salt.
- Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and crisp. Rotate pan halfway through baking.
- Cool and Serve: Cool muffins in tin before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Storage: Enjoy plain or with dips. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze.
Notes
- You can customize the toppings by adding ingredients like Parmesan cheese, olives, or cherry tomatoes.
- For a quicker version, you can use store-bought pizza dough instead of making the focaccia dough from scratch.
- These muffins pair well with soups, salads, or as a side to pasta dishes.
