  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary to the yeast mixture, then pour into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth, then let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Baking
  1. Punch down the dough, then divide it into muffin cups. Let rise again for 15 minutes.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown.
  3. Let cool slightly and serve with butter if desired.

Notes

These muffins are best served warm. You can enjoy them plain or with butter. They pair nicely with soups or salads. For storage, let them cool completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to a month.
