With simple ingredients, minimal prep, and no dairy in sight, this vegan-friendly recipe delivers bakery-quality results right in your kitchen.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk and water until warm (about 110°F or 45°C).
Stir the warm liquid and olive oil into the flour mixture until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Using a round cutter (approximately 3 inches in diameter), cut out muffins and place them on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
Cover the muffins with a cloth and let rise for another 45 minutes, until puffy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Carefully transfer the muffins to the skillet without crowding, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the muffins on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite dairy-free spread.
