Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water with 2 teaspoons of yeast, letting it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary.
  3. Gradually pour in the yeast mixture, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Move to the countertop and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Transfer the dough into a greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release excess air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
  7. Arrange the dough balls into a greased muffin tin, giving them a little space to expand.
  8. Cover the muffin tin with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the muffins with olive oil and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over them if desired.
  10. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown.
  11. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  12. Serve them warm, perhaps with a drizzle of olive oil or your favorite dip.
