Ingredients

Scale

For the dough:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the topping:

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional additions:

  • Grated Parmesan for extra savory depth
  • A sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat
  • Sun-dried tomatoes or olives for Mediterranean flair

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with olive oil or nonstick spray to ensure the muffins do not stick.
  3. Shape the Muffins: Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place each into the greased muffin cups. Cover with a towel and let rest for 20 minutes to slightly puff up again.
  4. Add the Toppings: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, flaky sea salt, and black pepper. Use your fingers to press dimples into the top of each dough ball, then spoon the garlic-rosemary mixture evenly over each muffin, pressing it gently into the indentations for flavor infusion.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they achieve a beautiful golden brown crust and crisp edges. Remove from oven and let cool slightly in the pan before carefully removing. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure water temperature is about 110°F to activate yeast without killing it.
  • Use fresh rosemary for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Don’t skip the resting period after shaping to help develop texture and rise.
  • Optional toppings like Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or olives can be added for variation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
