Ingredients

Scale

All-Purpose Flour

  • 2 1/4 cups

Active Dry Yeast

  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons)

Sugar

  • 1 teaspoon

Salt

  • 1 teaspoon

Warm Water

  • 3/4 cup (about 110°F)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 1/4 cup, plus extra for drizzling

Garlic

  • 2 cloves, finely minced

Rosemary

  • 2 tablespoons, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Coarse Sea Salt

  • For sprinkling

Black Pepper

  • Freshly cracked

Grated Parmesan Cheese

  • Optional

Chili Flakes

  • Optional

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture along with olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. First Rise: Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or line with parchment paper liners.
  7. Shape the Muffins: Punch down the risen dough, divide into 12 equal pieces, roll each into a ball, and place into the prepared muffin cups.
  8. Add Toppings: In a small bowl, mix olive oil with minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Brush the tops of each dough ball with this mixture. Gently press down each ball to create dimples.
  9. Second Rise: Cover the muffin tin and let the dough rise again for about 20 minutes.
  10. Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Add Final Toppings: Before baking, sprinkle the tops with coarse sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and optional toppings like grated Parmesan or chili flakes.
  12. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  13. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
