If you’re on TikTok and have lots of food on your FYP, I’m sure you’ve seen the trend of mini focaccia. Who doesn’t love a small batch of warm, homemade bread?!
Well, I’m hopping on the TikTok trend but making it even easier thanks to Rhodes yeast rolls. They are simple to find and make breadmaking at home so easy.
Rise, top and bake this mini focaccia as a delicious side to your meal, a yummy snack or to make the best sandwich.
Ingredients for Herbed Mini Focaccia
You only need 5 ingredients to make this cute little mini focaccia and I’m betting you have most of it at home already. Here’s what you’ll need:
Rise and Prep the Dough
Drizzle a loaf pan with olive oil and using a pastry brush, coat the bottom and sides well. Add the rolls in rows of two, evenly spaced.
Cover the loaf pan with plasic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size. This will take anywhere from three to five hours depending on how warm it is in your home.
Once risen, poke the bread down with your fingertips until it’s well dimpled.
Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with the dried herbs and flaky kosher salt. Bake until it’s golden and crisp on the exterior.
Use Your Favorite Herbs
I have the herbs I used listed in the recipe but feel free to use what you love. Dried oregano or dill weed would be a great option for this focaccia.
You could also use an Italian seasoning blend or other seasoning mix that you have on hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time? While you can, it’s best when it’s hot from the oven.
How long does it take to rise the rolls? There are two methods you can use to thaw the rolls. Overnight in the refrigerator is the first option. The second is at room temperature and that can take anywhere from three to five hours. If you need them to rise even faster, you can preheat your oven to 100 degrees F then turn it off and place the rolls in the warm oven. This will speed things along.
Can I use a different oil? I really recommend using olive oil for this recipe because we’re using it for flavor. It adds an extra layer of deliciousness to the bread as well as crisping and browning.
