Ingredients

Scale

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup lukewarm water
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

1. Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine lukewarm water and sugar; sprinkle yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
3. Combine wet ingredients: Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Knead & rise: Transfer dough to a floured surface; knead for about 8 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.
5. Add flavors & shape muffins: Gently fold in minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Divide dough into muffin-sized pieces; shape them into balls.
6. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange muffin balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
