These Salted Rosemary Sourdough Focaccia Muffins with Hot Honey are taking me back to Southern Italy in the tastiest way possible! The inside texture is light, fluffy, and chewy with a crisp exterior crust that is better than pizza.

‍

What is Focaccia? What does it taste like?

Focaccia bread has a soft, fluffy texture with a slightly chewy crust (similar to Italian-style pizza). It has a savory flavor that is often enhanced by the addition of herbs, garlic, and olive oil. Some variations of focaccia may also include sweet ingredients such as fruit or honey, which can give it a slightly sweet flavor.

‍

‍

Ingredients you'll need:

  • 50 grams Active Sourdough Starter
  • 10 grams Salt
  • 430 grams Warm Water
  • 520 grams All Purpose Flour
  • 6 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • Flaky Sea Salt
  • (Optional) Hot Honey

How to Make Focaccia without Sourdough:

I recommend checking out my instant yeast-based focaccia recipe here. You can follow the exact same steps above, the key focus on transferring the dough to the muffin tin during the final rise!

‍

‍

How to make Sourdough Focaccia Muffins:

  1. In a large baking pan (apps. 9x13"), combine the flour, active sourdough starter, salt, and water. Mix until all flour is absorbed. Cover and rest in a warm environment for 30 minutes.
  2. Imagine the dough divided into 4 corners. Gently scoop from the bottom and lift up one corner without the dough breaking as high as it'll go, then fold toward the center of the dough. Rotate the bowl to the next "corner" and repeat. Repeat for a total of 10 times.
  3. Cover and rest the dough in a warm environment for 4-12 hours, until doubled in volume.

If baking same day...

  1. Generously drizzle a nonstick muffin tin with olive oil. Pinch off large portions (about 1/4 cup) of the dough to divide among the muffin cups.
  2. Let rest in a warm environment 2-3 hours, until doubled in volume.
  3. Preheat oven to 430F.
  4. Drizzle once more with olive oil, then use your fingers to create dimples in each focaccia muffin. Add the fresh rosemary leaves and flaky sea salt.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top.

If baking next day...

  1. Cover the baking dish and place in them fridge overnight.
  2. The next morning, generously drizzle a nonstick muffin tin with olive oil. Pinch off large portions (about 1/4 cup) of the dough to divide among the muffin cups.
  3. Let rest in a warm environment 2-3 hours, until doubled in volume. On hot days, this may only take 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 430F.
  5. Drizzle once more with olive oil, then use your fingers to create dimples in each focaccia muffin. Add the fresh rosemary leaves and flaky sea salt.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top.

How to Store Focaccia:

Once your focaccia has completely cooled, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature (away from moisture) for up to 3-4 days.

These are fantastic! Now I watched the video as well as followed the instructions and noticed in #2, you don't mention to drizzle olive oil during the slap and folds,yet it shows you in the video drizzling olive oil during the folks as well as in the muffin tins. They still turned out great although as a fan of good olive oil, I wish I added some during the folds! Can you edit and add that into your instructions to not confuse them with what's shown in the video?! Thank you!
