# What You’ll Need:
→ Dough
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 cup bread flour
03 - 1 packet (7 grams) instant yeast
04 - 1 teaspoon sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
06 - 1 cup lukewarm water
07 - 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
→ Flavorings
08 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
09 - 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
10 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
11 - 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, for topping
12 - Extra fresh rosemary, for topping
# Cooking Steps:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, and fine sea salt until well blended.
02 - Pour in lukewarm water and 1/4 cup olive oil. Mix using a wooden spoon or stand mixer with dough hook until a sticky dough forms.
03 - Stir in minced garlic and finely chopped fresh rosemary until evenly distributed.
04 - Cover the bowl tightly and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in volume.
05 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with oil.
06 - Divide the risen dough evenly among the prepared muffin cups. For easier handling, use oiled hands or an oiled scoop. The dough will be sticky.
07 - Brush the tops generously with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and extra rosemary.
08 - Bake on the center rack for 18 to 22 minutes, until golden brown and fully baked through.
09 - Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and serve warm or at room temperature.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These muffins land that perfect chewy-soft focaccia texture—each bite feels like a bakery treat made just for you.
- The rosemary and garlic perfume your kitchen and turn even a simple soup dinner into a little celebration.
02 -
- If you use water that’s too hot, your yeast won’t make it—lukewarm is key.
- Brushing a little extra olive oil after baking keeps the muffins soft and lets the rosemary flavor shine longer.
03 -
- Letting the dough rise in the oven (turned off, light on) gives you a reliably warm spot every time.
- Brushing extra olive oil both before and after baking gives bakery-style crust and keeps them moist inside.
