Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour Essential for structure; feel free to use whole wheat for a nuttier flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon sugar Balances the savory elements and helps activate the yeast.
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons); this yeast is the magic that causes your dough to rise beautifully.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor; never skip this, as it’s crucial for taste.
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F); make sure it’s warm but not hot to keep the yeast alive!
For the Flavoring
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted); adds richness; use olive oil for a lighter twist.
  • 4-5 cloves garlic (minced); fresh garlic creates an irresistible aromatic flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (finely chopped); fresh is best!
For Topping
  • coarse salt (optional, to taste); brings out all the flavors.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking dish
  • wooden spoon
  • kitchen towel

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, active dry yeast, and salt.
  2. Slowly pour in warm water while mixing until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare your baking dish by greasing it lightly.
  6. Gently punch down the risen dough and divide it into small balls, about 20 pieces.
  7. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary. Dip each dough ball into this mixture.
  8. Layer the dough balls in the greased baking dish, stacking closely together.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Once baked, brush with additional melted butter and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes
