Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of yeast, and 1 ¼ teaspoons of salt until well combined. Gradually add 1 cup of lukewarm water and ¼ cup of olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Turn the shaggy dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  4. While the dough rises, combine 2 cloves of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary in a small bowl.
  5. Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and roll it into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  6. Sprinkle the garlic and rosemary mixture evenly over the dough and press it into the surface.
  7. Tightly roll the dough into a log from a long edge and pinch the seams to seal.
  8. Cut the rolled log into 12 equal pieces.
  9. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil and place one dough piece in each cup.
  10. Cover the muffin tin and let it proof for 30-45 minutes.
  11. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  12. Dimple the tops of each muffin with your fingers.
  13. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  14. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  15. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
