Ingredients

Scale

Yeast Mixture

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or sugar)

Dough

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin), plus more for drizzling

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (flaky or coarse)

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in warm water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Make Dough: Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  3. Prep Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Shape Muffins: Once the dough has risen, spoon it evenly into the greased muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising during baking.
  5. Add Toppings: Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the tops of the muffins. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary, minced garlic, and flaky sea salt for flavor and texture.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crisp. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with dips like olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  8. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage to keep them fresh.

Notes

  • Use warm water around 110°F (43°C) to activate the yeast effectively without killing it.
  • Ensure the dough rises in a warm, draft-free place for best results.
  • To enhance flavor, fresh rosemary is preferred over dried.
  • The muffins can be enjoyed plain or served with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or your favorite dip.
  • Leftover muffins freeze well; thaw at room temperature before serving.
