Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups Warm Water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil, plus extra for greasing

Flavorings

  • 3 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast in a small bowl. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil while stirring with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead: Transfer the sticky dough onto a floured surface. Knead vigorously for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky.
  4. Add Flavor: Gently fold in the finely chopped garlic cloves and fresh rosemary, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough without over-kneading.
  5. First Rise: Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and leave it in a warm, draft-free spot. Allow the dough to rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Muffin Time: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough to release air and divide it into equal portions to fit a greased muffin tin. Shape each portion into a muffin-sized ball and place them in the tin. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes until puffed up.
  7. Bake: Bake the focaccia muffins in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they develop a beautiful golden brown crust. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the water temperature is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Kneading is crucial for gluten development; don’t rush this step.
  • Fresh rosemary and garlic provide the best flavor; however, dried rosemary can be used if necessary.
  • For a crispier crust, brush the tops with olive oil before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
