Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
- ¾ cup (180ml) warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- Optional: parmesan, flaky sea salt, halved cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast. Gradually add ¾ cup (180ml) warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead by hand for about 8-10 minutes or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes. The dough should be smooth and slightly elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin with olive oil.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place it in the muffin tin.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary. Brush this mixture generously over each dough ball.
- Let the muffins rise for another 20-30 minutes until slightly puffy.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the muffins sound hollow when tapped.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For best results, use fresh rosemary and garlic. Customize the toppings with parmesan, flaky sea salt, or cherry tomatoes. Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
