Dough Preparation
- 1
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water (1.5 cups) and sugar (1 tbsp). Sprinkle the active dry yeast (2 tbsp) over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour (4 cups) and salt (1 tsp). Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, milk (0.5 cups), and melted butter (2 tbsp). Stir until a sticky dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

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

Shape the Muffins
After the first rise, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out circles and place them onto cornmeal-dusted baking sheets.
