Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Mix in melted butter, salt, and flour until everything is combined.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness, then cut into rounds.
- Dust with cornmeal and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Cook on a hot griddle for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Let cool on a wire rack before slicing and toasting.
Notes
Ensure your milk is warm, not hot—hot liquids can kill the yeast. Don’t skip the rising times; it’s essential for texture.
