{'group': 'Main', 'item': '139g whole milk'}
{'group': 'Main', 'item': '9g instant dry yeast'}
{'group': 'Main', 'item': '600g unbleached bread flour'}

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine the water and milk, heating to 38°C (100°F (38°C)).
Stir in the yeast, cover, and let sit for 10 mins until foamy.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
Add the yeast mixture and melted butter, mixing by hand until a shaggy dough forms.

Cooking

Knead the dough on an unfloured surface for 5-10 mins until smooth and shiny.
Form into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
Punch down the dough, roll out to 1.25cm thick on a floured surface, and cut into rounds using a 7.5cm cutter.
Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal, place rounds on it, cover, and let rise for 30 mins to 1 hour until puffed.
Preheat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat.
Cook rounds for 5-7 mins per side until browned, adjusting heat as needed.

Plating & Serving

Cool the muffins on a wire rack.
Slice in half and serve warm or toasted with your choice of toppings.
