Ingredients
Scale
Dough Base
- 12 frozen dinner rolls
Toppings
- Cherry tomatoes, sliced, to taste
- Black olives, sliced, to taste
- Green olives, sliced, to taste
- Feta cheese, crumbled, to taste
- 6 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Dash of salt
Other
- 12 teaspoons olive oil (for drizzling before toppings)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Place one frozen dinner roll into each cup of an ungreased muffin tin. Cover the tin with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature until it doubles in size, approximately 6 hours or according to package instructions.
- Create focaccia dimples: Once the dough has risen, gently press down on each risen roll with your fingertips to create several indents, mimicking the texture of traditional focaccia bread.
- Drizzle with olive oil: Generously drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over each roll, making sure the oil fills the indents on the dough’s surface.
- Add toppings: Fill the dimples with sliced cherry tomatoes, black olives, green olives, crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan, sprinkle dried oregano, and add a dash of salt to each muffin.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat before baking.
- Bake the muffins: Bake the focaccia muffins in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin before transferring them to a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious, savory flavors.
Notes
- You can customize the toppings to your preference, adding ingredients like rosemary, caramelized onions, or sun-dried tomatoes.
- The rising time may vary depending on the brand and temperature; ensure the dough has doubled for best results.
- Use an ungreased muffin tin to help achieve a crispier bottom crust.
- For a vegan option, substitute feta and Parmesan with plant-based cheese alternatives.
