Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds of pizza dough (pre-made or homemade)
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil (scant measurement)
- 8 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves removed and chopped
- Flaky salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Step 1: Step 1: Prep the Dough. Lightly grease a bowl and place the pizza dough inside. Allow it to come to room temperature if time permits; this makes the dough easier to handle and improves its rise. Divide the dough into 12 roughly equal pieces using a bench scraper or sharp knife. No need for perfection—rustic shapes add charm. Avoid overworking the dough to preserve air bubbles.
- Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Pan. Take a standard muffin pan and pour 1 teaspoon of olive oil into each cup. This prevents sticking and helps create a crispy crust.
- Step 3: Shape and Rest the Dough. Gently shape each dough piece into a rough ball and place it into the oiled muffin cups. Be careful not to deflate the dough. Cover the muffin pan with a clean towel and set it aside in a warm spot, such as near the oven, while it preheats to 400°F.
- Step 4: Prepare the Garlic and Rosemary Topping. Chop the garlic finely and remove the rosemary leaves from their stems, chopping them coarsely. Set both aside. Heat the remaining olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. To test readiness, wet your fingertips and flick a tiny drop of water into the oil—if it sizzles, it’s ready. Remove the oil from heat and carefully stir in the chopped garlic and rosemary. Stir gently until the sizzling subsides, ensuring the flavors infuse into the oil.
- Step 5: Assemble the Muffins. Spoon the garlic-rosemary-infused oil generously over each dough ball, using all the oil to ensure maximum flavor. Using two fingers, press gently into each dough ball to create dimples. These dimples help the oil and toppings adhere while giving the muffins their classic focaccia look.
- Step 6: Bake to Perfection. Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 14–16 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top. If the tops brown too quickly, loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.
