Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 6-muffin tin by lining it with paper muffin cups. -
Bloom the Yeast
In a medium bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms. -
Mix Ingredients
In the yeast mixture, add flour, olive oil, salt, Cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. -
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead for 4 to 5 minutes until all ingredients are well incorporated and the dough is smooth and shiny. -
Let it Rise
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest until it has doubled in size, approximately 1 hour. -
Shape the Muffins
Punch the risen dough down and divide it into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a soft ball and place them into the prepared muffin tin. -
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix together butter, rosemary, and minced garlic until well combined. Spread a little of this mixture on top of each muffin ball. -
Bake the Muffins
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Check for color and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Serve warm.
Enjoy these aromatic Garlic Focaccia Muffins fresh from the oven, perfect for sharing with family and friends!
