Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Flaky salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a clean, oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a towel. Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. While the dough rises, mince the garlic and chop the rosemary. Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan over low heat. Stir in the garlic and rosemary, then remove from heat and let it infuse.
  6. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
  7. Shape each portion into a ball and place in the prepared muffin cups. Press your fingertips into each dough ball to create small dimples.
  8. Spoon the garlic-rosemary oil over the tops. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
  9. Let the dough rise again in the muffin pan for 20–25 minutes until puffed.
  10. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown on top.
  11. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

You can substitute fresh rosemary with 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary.

Add-ins like grated cheese or olives can be added before baking for variation.

These muffins are best fresh but can be reheated in the oven to revive their texture.
