Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1 1/3 cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tsp honey or sugar
  • 2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and fine sea salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Mix the dough until it comes together, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • While dough rises, heat the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, and rosemary in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes to infuse flavors. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball and place into a well-greased muffin tin.
  • Cover the muffin tin and let the dough rise for an additional 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Use your fingertips to press deep dimples into the top of each dough ball.
  • Drizzle the garlic-rosemary oil evenly over the muffins, ensuring it fills the dimples. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
  • Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
