Ingredients
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
¾ cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for topping)
¾ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (plus extra for topping)
2 cloves garlic, minced or roasted
1 teaspoon sugar
¼ cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir well.
2. Add warm water and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Fold in garlic, rosemary, and shredded cheese if using. Mix just until combined.
4. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30–40 minutes.
5. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil. Spoon the dough into cups about halfway full.
6. Let the filled tin rise for another 15–20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
7. Drizzle tops with more olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and a pinch of sea salt.
8. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
9. Cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm.
Notes
Make sure your water is warm, not hot — around 105–110°F is ideal for yeast activation.
Fresh rosemary and roasted garlic add more depth, but substitutions still work well.
Don’t skip greasing the muffin tin generously — focaccia tends to stick without it.
