Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, combine the warm water, maple syrup, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

  3. 3

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil.

  4. 4

    Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.

  5. 5

    Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  6. 6

    Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  7. 7

    Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.

  8. 8

    Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out muffins from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.

  9. 9

    Cover the muffins with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  10. 10

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

  11. 11

    Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before splitting and toasting.
