🧁 Ingredients
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp fine salt
- 1/4 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 small sprig rosemary, finely chopped

👩🍳 Instructions
- Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add chopped parsley and rosemary, mixing gently with the back of a wooden spoon to distribute evenly.
- Pour olive oil evenly over the flour mixture and stir gently until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add yogurt and mix gently with the wooden spoon just until the flour is absorbed — do not overmix; some lumps are fine.

- Spoon the sticky dough into muffin cups lined with paper liners, using an ice cream scoop for easier portioning.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 20 minutes or until golden and risen.
💡 Tips
