Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • ½ cup olive oil, divided
  • ¾ cup warm milk (or water)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (or sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

  1. In a small bowl, mix warm milk, honey, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, until frothy.

Step 2: Make the Dough

Step 3: Let the Dough Rise

  1. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Step 4: Prepare & Bake the Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Divide the dough evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  3. In a small bowl, mix remaining olive oil and minced garlic, then brush over the tops.
  4. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and extra rosemary.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on top.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

  1. Let cool slightly before serving.
  2. Enjoy with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or butter!
