Preparation Steps

• In a bowl, mix warm water with sugar and yeast. Let it sit until frothy.
• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix well until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each into a muffin and place on a baking sheet.
• Brush each muffin with olive oil, then sprinkle with chopped rosemary and minced garlic.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
