Garlic & Herb Focaccia Muffins

PSA: These Garlic & Herb Focaccia Muffins are Dangerously Snackable)

Recipe By Recipe Club with J & Mingle Seasoning

These Garlic and Herb Focaccia Muffins are your new go-to for ripping, dipping and “just one more” that somehow turns into three.

Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, absolutely soaked (in the best way) with our Mr. Olio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, these are made for sharing… but no judgement if they don’t make it to the table.

Perfect as a snack, alongside dinner, or straight off the tray while standing at the kitchen bench

What You’ll Need

(Makes 8–10 muffins)
  • 1 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water
  • 2 ½ cups bread flour
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp Mingles Garlic & Herb Seasoning
  • 4–5 tbsp @its.olio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 tbsp goat’s cheese
  • 1–2 sprigs rosemary

How to Make Them

1. Wake up the yeast
Mix the yeast, honey and warm water in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it’s lightly foamy and alive.

2. Build the dough
Add the flour and salt, then mix in the yeast mixture using a spoon or spatula until a dough forms. It’ll be a bit wet — that’s exactly what you want.

3. Oil it up & rest
Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the dough and gently turn it so it’s coated. Cover the bowl and pop it into the fridge overnight (at least 8 hours).

4. Shape & rise
The next day, grease a muffin tin generously with olive oil. Divide the dough between the tins, drizzle another ~2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top, and let rise for about 2 hours.

5. Top & bake
Preheat the oven to 230°C.
Sprinkle with Mingles Garlic & Herb Seasoning, poke a few holes into the dough, then top with goat’s cheese and rosemary.

Bake for around 20 minutes, until golden and irresistible.

6. Finish properly
Pull them out and drizzle with as much olive oil as your heart desires. No restraint needed.

Why These Slap

They’re crunchy, fluffy, herby, oily (in the good way), and dangerously easy to eat.
Serve them with dips, soups, salads — or just eat them straight off the tray while they’re still warm.

No rules. Just good olive oil and better bread. 🫒🍞
