Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds store-bought pizza dough
- ½ scant cup extra virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves removed and chopped
- Flaky salt (for topping)
Instructions
1. If time allows, let pizza dough come to room temperature in a greased bowl. Cut into 12 equal pieces without overworking it.
2. Pour 1 teaspoon olive oil into each cup of a standard muffin pan.
3. Shape each dough piece into a rough ball and place into each oiled muffin cup. Avoid deflating air bubbles.
4. Cover with a towel and let rest near the preheating oven (400°F).
5. Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a skillet. When hot, remove from heat and add chopped garlic and rosemary. Stir until sizzling stops.
6. Spoon garlic rosemary oil generously over each dough ball.
7. Press two fingers into each dough ball to dimple and help toppings adhere.
8. Sprinkle flaky salt over each muffin.
9. Bake for 14–16 minutes, loosely covering with foil if browning too quickly.
10. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use fresh or canned pizza dough. Avoid overworking it to maintain air bubbles.
Letting the dough rest while oven preheats improves flavor and texture.
Be generous with olive oil for flavor, texture, and to prevent sticking.
Perfect for brunch, holiday sides, or savory snacking.
