Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 1/3 cups warm water (around 110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing and drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Herbs and Flavorings

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Finishing

  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture: Dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy to activate the yeast.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt evenly.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Knead in Garlic and Rosemary: Gently fold the minced garlic and chopped rosemary into the dough to distribute the flavors.
  5. First Rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Prepare Muffin Tins and Second Rise: Grease muffin tin wells with olive oil, divide the dough evenly into the tins, smooth the tops lightly, cover, and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
  7. Bake Until Golden: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes until muffins are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Final Olive Oil Drizzle and Cooling: Brush tops with olive oil, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh rosemary and garlic for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Ensure the water is lukewarm to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Keep kneading gentle and brief to maintain a soft, fluffy texture.
  • Generously use olive oil for flavor and focaccia’s characteristic crust.
  • Measuring flour by weight improves consistency.
