Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (240g) einkorn flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon (6g) salt
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Cornmeal or semolina flour for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together einkorn flour and salt. Gradually add to the yeast mixture, stirring to form a sticky dough.
  3. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Shape dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Flatten each piece into a round disc about 1-inch thick. Dust with cornmeal or semolina.
  6. Place discs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Cook muffins for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).
