Garlic Rosemary Focaccia Muffins (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 2 1/4 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast
02 - 240 millilitres warm water (43°C)
03 - 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
04 - 375 grams all-purpose flour
05 - 1 teaspoon salt
06 - 60 millilitres extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

→ Topping

07 - 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
08 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
09 - 1 teaspoon flaky or coarse sea salt

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in the warm water. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
02 - Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the activated yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms. Cover with a kitchen towel and leave to rise in a warm spot for 45 to 60 minutes, until doubled in size.
03 - Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin lightly with olive oil.
04 - Once the dough has risen, divide evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
05 - Drizzle the tops with extra olive oil. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary, minced garlic, and sea salt.
06 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown and the edges are crisp. Rotate tray halfway through for even baking.
07 - Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
08 - Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

# Notes:

01 - For a stronger rosemary flavour, infuse the olive oil with rosemary before drizzling. Muffins pair well with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping.
