Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 package quick-acting yeast (also known as instant yeast)
  • 1 1/3 cup milk (at 105 to 115F degrees)
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon butter (melted)
  • coarse salt (for topping)

Instruction

  • Dissolve yeast in warm milk with sugar in electric mixer bowl. Stir in 1 cup flour, oil, and salt. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour, scraping dough from side of bowl, until soft dough forms.
  • Cover and let rise in warm place until double, about 45 minutes. Make sure that you cover the dough bowl with a towel when you set it aside to rise in a draft-free place.
  • Heat oven 400 degrees F. Punch down dough in center and fold over a few times. Prep a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pinch off 1 inch balls of dough and quickly roll in palm of hands. Put 3 balls to one muffin cup, brush with melted butter; sprinkle with coarse salt.
  • Bake until crust is light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Immediately remove from pan. Store loosely covered.
