Garlic Rosemary Muffins (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
Pre-made pizza dough (1.5 lbs)
02 -
Good-quality olive oil (just under ½ cup)
→ Aromatics & Seasonings
03 -
Whole garlic (8 cloves)
04 -
4 rosemary sprigs (fresh)
05 -
Coarse salt flakes
# Instructions:
01 -
Let the dough warm up to room temp in a greased bowl, then divide it into 12 equal parts while handling gently.
02 -
Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of olive oil in each cup of the pan.
03 -
Shape dough bits softly into balls, set them in the greased muffin tray, cover, and leave somewhere warm while the oven heats to 400°F.
04 -
Finely mince rosemary leaves and garlic cloves, setting them aside for later use.
05 -
Heat the olive oil on the stove until it's warm (a water droplet sizzle test works). Take off heat and stir in the chopped garlic and rosemary.
06 -
Drizzle the herby oil generously over the dough, using your fingers to poke dimples into the dough, pushing the seasoning into the indentations.
07 -
Pop the pan into the oven for 14-16 minutes. If they're browning too fast, cover them with foil.
# Notes:
01 -
Canned dough works too if fresh isn't an option.
02 -
Don't knead dough too much to keep it airy.
03 -
Letting it rest really makes the texture and taste better.
04 -
More olive oil means better results, so don't skimp!
