Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • Coarse sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a medium bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently, and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the dry ingredients along with the melted butter. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Shape the muffins: Punch down the dough, divide it into 12 pieces, and shape each into a muffin.
  7. Boil the muffins: Boil water with baking soda, add muffins a few at a time, boiling each side for 30 seconds.
  8. Preheat the oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Prepare for baking: Place boiled muffins in a tin, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with coarse salt.
