Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups (375g) bread flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, lukewarm
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) warm water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1/4 cup (30g) fine cornmeal or semolina, for dusting

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add milk, water, and butter, and stir to a shaggy dough.
  2. Knead on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, until doubled.
  4. Pat dough to 1/2 inch thick, cut out 8 to 10 rounds with a 3 inch cutter (no twisting). Rest 10 minutes.
  5. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium low heat, dust with cornmeal, and cook rounds 7 to 8 minutes per side. Cool 10 minutes, then split with a fork and toast.

Notes

For even more flavour, let the shaped muffins rest in the fridge overnight, covered, and griddle them cold the next morning.
