How to make Focaccia Bread Muffins at Home (Sourdough Discard Recipe)

I baked sourdough focaccia muffins at home using sourdough discard. This was an easy bread to make with minimal waiting time.
100g Sourdough Discard
380g Bread Flour/All purpose flour/Pizza flour
280g Water
7g Salt
12-17g Olive oil
Directions:
1. Get sourdough discard. Can be used straight from the fridge, like I did in this vid. (or active starter, doesn't matter.)
2. Mix discard with flour, water, salt & olive oil
3. Leave the wet dough to rest for 30 min
4. Stretch the dough over itself until you the gluten in the flour resist your pulling. (A.k.a. Stretch & fold)
5. Once the dough starts to tear when you fold it, leave it to rest for 10-30mins.
6. Stretch and fold twice
7. Scoop portions of the dough into muffin tray. Fill each muffin tin halfway with dough. (It will double-triple during proofing & bake)
8. Leave dough to proof for 4-6 hours. You know it's ready once the dough is pooling over the top of the muffin tin.
9. Bake at 230°C for 17-20 minutes or until the bread crust has set and turned golden brown
Tips:
- you can use ANY FLOUR you have on hand as long as it has gluten. For this bake, I used leftover pizza dough and all purpose flour in a 1:1 ratio. (140g pizza dough, 140g all purpose flour.) Using more low-protein flour like "all purpose" will make the center of your muffins softer/pillowier (like a donut) and less chewy. Using higher protein flour like bread flour or 00 flour (pizza flour) will give the interior of the bread more big gaping holes like a country loaf. Customize your flour to your preference!
- focus on attaining a supple but jiggly dough more than measuring everything perfectly. This dough is supposed to be extremely runny and rather sticky. If it is hard to handle, don't add more flour. Add more olive oil OR coat your hands with olive oil to prevent sticking
- adding more olive oil on the tops of your muffins will prevent burning during the bake, and create a crispier crust.
