Ingredients
Scale
- For the Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- For Topping:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and olive oil, then add to the dry ingredients.
- Add the chopped rosemary and minced garlic, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions, shaping each into a muffin shape.
- Place the muffins on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Drizzle the tops with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and additional rosemary.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and the muffins sound hollow when tapped.
Notes
- Make-ahead: The dough can be prepared the night before and refrigerated after the first rise. Bring to room temperature before shaping.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Substitutions: Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option or substitute garlic with roasted garlic for a milder flavor.
