Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ½ cups warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough, roll it out to about 1-inch thickness, and cut out circles.
  6. Place the cut muffins on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat a griddle over medium heat and cook the muffins for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  8. Let cool before serving.

Notes

  • Consider using a thermometer to check the milk temperature; it should be warm, not hot.
  • You can add seeds or herbs to the dough for extra flavor.
