Ingredients
- 3 2/3 cups flour plus more for kneading
- 1 envelope active dry yeast or instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt Greek or regular
- fine cornmeal
- oil
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Add water and yogurt, and mix into a soft dough. Knead the dough for 10 minutes, until smooth, adding more flour if it gets sticky. Let dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Roll dough out to a thickness of about ¾ inch. Cut out 12 circles with a 3 inch round cutter. Sprinkle a baking sheet with semolina, and cover each side of muffins with it. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for about an hour, until almost doubled in size.
- Heat a flat griddle pan until hot and brush with oil. Add the muffins and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 12 minutes, six minutes on each side, until firm and golden brown. Turn only once. Serve with butter and jam.
Notes
- Use a fork to pierce the center of the muffin, all the way around, to help split it in half. This will preserve those essential nooks & crannies
- Don't have a biscuit cutter? Can you other things found in your kitchen, such as a mason jar lid or a cup.
- Make sure not to skip the cornmeal as it's vital to prevent sticking.
- You can use a cast iron skillet or a griddle pan for cooking.
