Ingredients

• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 180 milliliters Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave until lukewarm (about 40°C or 105°F). Stir in the butter until melted.

Step 3

Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured surface and roll it out to about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thickness.

Step 7

Use a round cookie cutter (approximately 5 cm or 2 inches in diameter) to cut out circles of dough, re-rolling the scraps as needed.

Step 8

Lightly sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal and arrange the dough circles on it. Sprinkle the tops with more cornmeal. Cover with a towel and let them rise for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 10

Cook the muffins on the preheated surface for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Step 11

Transfer the cooked muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before storing in an airtight container or slicing and serving.
