Scale

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Prepare yeast mixture by dissolving yeast and sugar in warm water; let sit until foamy (5–10 minutes).
In a bowl, mix flour and salt; add the yeast mixture and olive oil to form dough.
Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5–6 minutes until smooth; let rise in a greased bowl covered with a towel for about an hour.
Shape the dough into equal portions, place in greased muffin tin, and brush tops with olive oil; sprinkle with garlic, rosemary, and flaky salt.
Let muffins rise again for approximately 20 minutes before baking.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
