Ingredients
All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups
Warm Water: ¾ cup
Active Dry Yeast: 2¼ teaspoons
Sugar: 1 teaspoon
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: ¼ cup + extra for brushing
Roasted Garlic: 4 cloves, mashed

Instructions
Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–7 minutes until frothy. Stir in mashed roasted garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and olive oil. Add flour gradually, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spoon the dough evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Let them rest uncovered for 15 minutes to puff slightly.
Assemble the Dish: Brush tops generously with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
Cook to Perfection: Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Finishing Touches: Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy warm or room temperature, with soups, salads, or all on their own.
