1
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
3
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, warm the milk slightly and add the melted butter. Mix well.
4
Form the Dough
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and milk mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.

5
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7
Shape Muffins
Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1-inch thickness and cut using a round cutter.
8
Second Rise
Place the cut muffins on a floured baking sheet. Cover lightly with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
9
Cook Muffins
Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over low to medium heat. Cook the muffins for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
