Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Russet potatoes
- 450 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 150 milliliters Milk
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 30 grams Cornmeal
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain well and mash until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Stir to combine.
Warm the milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave until lukewarm (around 37°C or 98°F). Add the warm milk and mashed potatoes into the dry ingredients.
Melt the butter and add it to the mixture. Stir everything together until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add small amounts of flour as needed.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick.
Using a round cutter (about 7-8 cm or 3 inches), cut out muffin shapes and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle cornmeal on the tops and bottoms of the muffins.
Cover the muffins with a clean towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over low to medium-low heat. Carefully transfer the muffins to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Let the muffins cool on a wire rack. Split them with a fork to create the classic nooks and crannies, and enjoy toasted with your favorite toppings!
