Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds (680 g) pizza dough, pre-made or homemade
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (about 110 ml)
  • 8 garlic cloves, finely chopped (about 24 g)
  • 4 fresh rosemary sprigs, leaves removed and chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon flaky salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Lightly oil a large bowl and place pizza dough inside to come to room temperature.
  2. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Avoid overworking the dough.
  3. Pour 1 teaspoon of olive oil into each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin.
  4. Shape each dough piece into a loose ball and place in the oiled muffin cups.
  5. Cover the pan with a towel and let the dough rest while oven preheats to 400°F (200°C).
  6. Heat remaining olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in chopped garlic and rosemary. Let infuse for 1 minute.
  7. Spoon the infused oil evenly over each dough ball.
  8. Press two fingers into each dough ball to create dimples, then sprinkle with flaky salt.
  9. Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until muffins are puffed and golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Top with grated Parmesan before baking for extra flavor.
  • Swap rosemary with thyme or oregano for variation.
  • Add sesame or nigella seeds for texture.
  • Press an olive or cherry tomato into the top for garnish.
  • Use roasted garlic for a milder garlic flavor.
