Equipment
- Bread Machine
Ingredients
For Bread Machine
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 360 grams all purpose flour, 3 cups if no scale
- 1½ teaspoons instant yeast

Instructions
- Add the For Bread Machine ingredients to your bread machine in the order listed, start the Dough cycle on the machine.
- When the cycle is finished, spread some cornmeal on your work surface, turn out dough onto the work surface. Pat the dough out to about ½ inch thickness, a little less is ok.
- Turn the dough over so both sides get coated with cornmeal. Using a cutter, cut into rounds (a cutter the size of a tuna can would be good.
- Sprinkle some cornmeal on a baking sheet and place the rounds on that, cover with a towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
- Heat a dry cast iron pan on low heat, when hot, cook the muffins for about 5 to minutes on each side, they should be golden brown on the bottom when you turn them.
- Remove from the pan and split part way through with a fork. Can be used right away served warm, toasted, or even frozen for later use and reheated in a microwave or toaster.
