pour water into big bowl and add yeast, set aside 10 minutes until the yeast dissolves

line 2 baking sheets with foil, sprinkle cornmeal on them

pour cooled milk mixture into yeast mixture, mix well. then mix in 3 cups of the flour. then add the last of the flour and the salt. mix it really well (maybe use your hands)

knead the dough on a floured surface for 4 minutes. let it sit for 5 minutes

roll dough to 1/4 inch thick, cut out muffins (with mason jar top or cup), and place them on cornmealed baking sheets. sprinkle with more cornmeal. let them sit for 45 minutes or longer under a dry towel until they are doubled height.

heat a skillet to medium heat. place muffins on ungreased skillet. cook until browned, about 10 minutes on each side. 

perfect for toasting. so, so good.
