Description
Golden crust garlic rosemary focaccia muffins are a savory and portable twist on traditional focaccia bread. They feature a crispy, golden exterior and a soft, fluffy interior, with the classic flavors of rosemary and garlic.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary (or fresh, finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
- Extra rosemary and garlic for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the warm water, olive oil, honey, and minced garlic. Stir until the honey dissolves.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Fold in the rosemary and Parmesan cheese, if using.
- Spoon the dough into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and brush with melted butter for an added shine and flavor.
- Optional: Sprinkle extra rosemary and garlic on top before serving for an extra pop of flavor.
Notes
- For a cheesy version, add shredded mozzarella or cheddar to the dough.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs like thyme, oregano, or basil.
- Brush with garlic butter instead of plain melted butter for a richer flavor.
- To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
- These muffins can be stored at room temperature for up to 2-3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
