Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt.
- Create a well in the flour mixture, pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- Punch down the dough, divide into 12 pieces, shaping each into a ball and place in the muffin tin.
- Mix olive oil, minced garlic, and rosemary. Brush this mixture over the dough balls.
- Cover and let the dough rise for an additional 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle coarse sea salt and cracked pepper on top of the risen dough.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
- Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
Knead thoroughly for best texture. Allow the dough to rise completely for light muffins. Use fresh ingredients for optimal flavor.
