Making Garlic Rosemary Focaccia Muffins is an easy and rewarding task. Follow these simple steps to create this amazing breakfast treat:

1. Activate Yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine flour and salt. Mix thoroughly.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Add minced garlic and chopped rosemary as well.
4. Knead the Dough: Mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, creating a smooth dough.
5. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly-oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 30-40 minutes or until doubled in size.
6. Shape the Muffins: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them into a greased muffin tin.
7. Second Rise: Cover the muffin tin with a cloth and allow the muffin dough to rise for another 20 minutes.
8. Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Garnish: After the second rise, lightly press a small sprig of rosemary into each muffin, and drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with cracked black pepper.
10. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
11. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
