In a large bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast; let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and garlic.
Add olive oil and fresh rosemary to the yeast mixture and mix well.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture; stir until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough, divide into portions, and shape them into muffins; place in a greased muffin tin.
Cover muffin tin and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Brush muffin tops with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and rosemary, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Serve alongside hearty soups or salads, or slather with herb-infused butter.
