Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g fresh-milled hard white wheat flour
- 375 g whole milk plus 10-30 g more as needed
- 120 g active sourdough starter 100% hydration
- 20 g granulated sugar
- 30 g unsalted butter melted
- 10 g salt
- Cornmeal semolina, or rice flour for dusting
Instructions
- Add the fresh-milled flour, 350 g milk, sourdough starter, sugar, melted butter, and salt to a large bowl. Mix until no dry flour remains. Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- After resting, check the dough consistency and add remaining milk if needed. The dough should be soft and tacky.
- Do 2 sets of stretch and folds about 20-30 minutes apart until the dough becomes smoother and stronger.
- Cover the bowl and leave the dough at room temperature for about 6 hours, or until it looks puffy and has increased in volume by roughly 50%.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently roll or pat it to about ¾ inch thick. Cut out rounds with a biscuit cutter.
- Place the muffin pieces into a baking pan lined with parchment paper and sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and let them proof for about 2 hours.
- Preheat a skillet over low to medium-low heat. Cook the muffins for about 6-8 minutes per side, keeping the heat low to ensure proper cooking.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Split them with a fork for the classic texture.

Adding more milk can help achieve a tackier dough consistency.
Ensure the skillet is not too hot to prevent burning the outside while cooking the inside.
Using a glass bowl for proofing allows you to see bubbles and dough rise more easily.
