Garlic Rosemary Muffins (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
1.5 pounds of ready-made pizza dough
02 -
About ½ cup of good-quality olive oil
→ Aromatics & Seasonings
03 -
8 garlic cloves
04 -
4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
05 -
A pinch of flaky sea salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Let the pizza dough sit in a greased mixing bowl until it softens at room temperature, then carefully divide it into 12 portions. Try not to handle it too much.
02 -
Pour about a teaspoon of olive oil into each muffin mold.
03 -
Shape each piece of dough into a ball, place each in the pre-oiled muffin cups, then cover them and let them rise while the oven preheats to 400°F.
04 -
Finely chop the garlic and remove the rosemary leaves from the sprigs, setting them aside.
05 -
Warm up the remaining olive oil until it’s hot to the touch (a test drop of water will sizzle). Remove it from heat, stir in the chopped garlic and rosemary, and let the flavors mingle.
06 -
Brush each dough ball generously with the infused oil. Use your fingers to press small dimples into the dough, and push in some garlic and rosemary.
07 -
Bake for 14-16 minutes. If they’re browning too much, loosely cover with foil partway through.
# Notes:
01 -
If fresh dough isn’t available, canned dough works too.
02 -
Handle the dough lightly to keep it airy.
03 -
Letting the dough rest improves its flavor and structure.
04 -
Don’t skimp on olive oil. It makes a big difference!
