Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 1 tsp Honey substitute with sugar for vegan
  • 1 ¼ cups Warm Water around 110°F (43°C)
  • 2 ½ cups Bread Flour provides chewy texture
  • 2 tsp Sea Salt enhances flavor
  • ¼ cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil divided into dough and topping
For the Topping
  • 2 tbsp Melted Butter consider using vegan butter
  • 2 tbsp Finishing Salt e.g., Le Saunier de Camargue
  • cup Rosemary minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • muffin tin
  • Small saucepan
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ¼ teaspoons of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1 ¼ cups of warm water. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Gradually add 2 ½ cups of bread flour and 2 teaspoons of sea salt, stirring until a wet dough forms. Coat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight for at least 8 hours.
Shaping and Rising
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough for a minute to release air bubbles.
  2. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls, grease a muffin tin, and place the dough balls in each cup. Let rise uncovered for about 2 hours.
Topping Preparation
  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine ⅓ cup of olive oil with 3 minced garlic cloves and ⅓ cup of minced rosemary. Stir gently until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat, let cool slightly while the dough continues to rise.
Dimpling and Baking
  1. Once the dough has risen, dimple each muffin gently, drizzle rosemary and garlic oil over the top, and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
Final Touch and Serving
  1. Brush tops with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of finishing salt. Serve warm.
