Golden Crust Garlic Rosemary Focaccia Muffins
Delightful muffins that combine cozy vibes with a garlic-rose aromatic twist, perfect as a side for any meal.
Ingredients
For the Muffins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast (2¼ tsp)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar
- ¾ cup warm water
- 3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for that extra touch)
Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, combine warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Slowly pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
Knead and Rise
- Roll the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place into a greased bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
Flavor It Up
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and knead in the minced garlic and chopped rosemary.
- Then split the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape into muffin-like balls. Place them into a greased muffin tray.
Bake Time!
- Brush the tops with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
- Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. Tear one apart—it should be soft, fluffy, and glorious.
Notes
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days. For serving, try them with a side of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. If using dried rosemary, use about a teaspoon as it’s more potent.
