# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get all the crispy chewy goodness of focaccia in cute individual portions that bake faster than a full loaf
  • The roasted garlic and rosemary combination is timeless, but the muffin form makes it feel fresh and modern
02 -
  • The dough should feel sticky and tacky, not dry, so resist adding too much extra flour during kneading
  • Letting them cool in the pan for just a few minutes helps release them easily without sticking
03 -
  • Use a kitchen towel to cover the dough instead of plastic wrap to let it breathe while rising
  • Brush the tops with a little more olive oil right after baking for extra shine and flavor
