Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until frothy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, milk, and melted butter. Stir until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Prepare Cooking Surface

    Sprinkle a baking sheet or surface with cornmeal to prevent sticking.

  2. 6

    Shape Muffins

    Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out muffins and place them on the prepared surface.

  3. 7

    Second Rise

    Cover the shaped muffins with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  4. 8

    Cook Muffins

    Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook the muffins for about 7-10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the muffins from the griddle and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
