Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • ¼ cup olive oil (plus more for brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Stir well to incorporate.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center, pour in warm water and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or hand until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm area for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  5. Add Flavor: Gently punch down the dough. Fold in chopped garlic and rosemary, mixing just until evenly distributed.
  6. Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Form into rough balls and place each one into the muffin cups. Press each lightly to flatten.
  7. Second Rest: Let the shaped dough rest in the muffin tin for 20 minutes while preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Oil and Salt: Brush the tops of each muffin with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  9. Bake: Bake on the middle rack for 20–22 minutes or until golden brown on top with lightly crisp edges.
  10. Cool and Serve: Let muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes. Remove and transfer to a wire rack. Cool for another 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Fresh rosemary provides the best aroma; dried rosemary can be substituted in smaller amounts.

Dough can be refrigerated overnight after first rise; bring to room temperature before continuing.

Muffins can be frozen and reheated as needed.
