Ingredients
Muffin Ingredients
- 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary, finely chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1.5 cups Warm Water Temperature around 110°F (43°C)
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
Instructions
Activation
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
Preparation of Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Stir until a sticky dough starts to form.
Kneading
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Adding Flavor
- Gently fold in finely chopped garlic and fresh rosemary to incorporate these aromatic ingredients.
First Rise
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm environment until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into muffin tin portions and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
