Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Topping:

 

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
    • Add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
    • Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • First Rise:

    • Lightly knead the dough in the bowl for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
    • Cover again and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  • Prepare Muffin Tin:

    • Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
    • Divide the dough evenly among the muffin cups, pressing gently to fit.
  • Add Toppings:

    • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.
    • Brush the mixture generously over the dough.
    • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and black pepper.
  • Second Rise & Bake:

    • Let the dough rise again for 15 minutes.
    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

 

  • Serve & Enjoy:

    • Drizzle with extra olive oil if desired.
    • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Rosemary: It enhances the flavor more than dried rosemary.
  • Don’t Skip the Second Rise: It ensures a fluffy texture.

 

  • Customize Your Toppings: Try adding cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, or olives.
