Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (plus more for garnish)
- Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese, chili flakes
Instructions
- Start by activating your yeast to ensure it works properly. In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 5–10 minutes until a foamy layer forms on top.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of your flour mixture. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and the olive oil. Stir everything together until you form a shaggy dough. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place your kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
- While the dough is rising, prepare your muffin tin. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or use parchment liners.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release excess air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, and shape each piece into a ball. Place one ball in each muffin cup.
- Create a topping by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over each dough ball.
- Cover the muffin tins again and let the dough balls rise for an additional 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Just before baking, sprinkle them with coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can prepare the dough and shape the muffins, then freeze them before the second rise. Bake them fresh whenever you need!
