Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cupsall-purpose flour
  • 1packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 tspsugar
  • 1 tspsalt
  • ¾ cupwarm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • ¼ cupextra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 2cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tbspfresh rosemary, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese, chili flakes

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. While the dough is rising, prepare your muffin tin. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or use parchment liners.
  6. 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.
  7. Create a topping by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over each dough ball.
  8. Cover the muffin tins again and let the dough balls rise for an additional 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Just before baking, sprinkle them with coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden brown.
  10. 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!
