Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir well to mix.

  2. 2

    Warm the Milk and Butter

    In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter together until the butter is melted. Let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the warm water and egg into the milk mixture. Stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Kneading and Rising

  1. 5

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  2. 6

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Shaping and Second Rise

  1. 7

    Shape the Muffins

    After the first rise, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

  2. 8

    Prepare for Second Rise

    Flatten each ball slightly and place them on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 9

    Preheat the Griddle

    Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease if necessary.

  2. 10

    Cook the Muffins

    Cook the muffins for 7-10 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the muffins from the griddle and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or toasted.
