📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, yeast, and honey. Stir to dissolve the yeast and let it sit for about ⏱️ 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
honey3 tbsp
2
Stir in the melted butter, salt, and 2 cups of whole grain flour.
butter (melted)2 tbsp
3
Add the remaining 2/3 cup flour and beat on low speed in the stand mixer for ⏱️ 1 minute. Stop, scrape down the sticky dough from the sides, and fold it in. Beat again for another ⏱️ 4-5 minutes on low. (I use speed 2.)
4
Use a spatula to fold the dough in on itself, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for ⏱️ 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
5
Once doubled, do not punch it down. Transfer the dough to the fridge to chill overnight. You can chill it for as little as ⏱️ 6 hours, or if needed, you can also skip the chill entirely, but it makes them taste so much better, and the dough is WAY easier to handle chilled.
6
The next morning, remove the dough from the fridge. Sprinkle a little cornmeal on your workspace, and on the dough. Then, pull off a piece of dough and roll it into a ball, then flatten it before placing it on the countertop. Repeat for the remaining muffins and sprinkle a little more cornmeal on top of them.
7
Cover and let the dough rest for up to ⏱️ 20 minutes. Do not extend this time.
8
Preheat the oven to 350°F. While the oven is pre-heating, heat a skillet on medium-low. Once hot, melt about a 1/2 tbsp of oil or butter in the skillet, and cook the muffins for about ⏱️ 10-15 minutes, flipping once. Note: the sides should be golden brown and the edges can still be soft, but should be firmed up.
butter (melted)2 tbsp
9
Transfer the muffins to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or prepared cast iron skillet and bake for ⏱️ 14 minutes, or until the internal temperature registers 200°F.
10
After baking, let the muffins rest for ⏱️ 15-20 minutes before serving to allow them to set properly.
