Easy Garlic Rosemary Focaccia Muffins are a fun twist on traditional focaccia bread—light, fluffy, and infused with the classic flavors of garlic and rosemary. Baked in a muffin tin, they’re perfect as a side for soups, salads, or as a savory snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  • Add the warm water and olive oil, then stir until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5–6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it evenly among the muffin cups.
  • Press your fingers into each dough portion to create the traditional focaccia “dimples.”
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, rosemary, and flaky sea salt.
  • Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly before removing from the tin and serving warm.

Notes

  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
  • You can add toppings like olives, cherry tomatoes, or shredded cheese for variation.
  • If using active dry yeast, dissolve it in warm water with sugar and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before mixing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Great for dipping in olive oil and balsamic vinegar or serving with soups.
