For an extra rich flavor, consider using brown butter instead of clarified butter. Ensure the muffins are completely cooled before splitting to maintain their texture. Experiment with adding herbs or spices to the dough for a customized twist.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup flour, yeast, and 1/2 cup warm water until foamy. (10 minutes) Add oil, egg white, salt, remaining 1 3/4 cups flour, and remaining 1/4 cup water. Mix until well combined; dough will be very wet and sticky. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
02
StepTurn the dough onto a well-floured surface. Incorporate just enough flour to make the dough manageable. (1 minute) Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a seamless ball, using a pinch of flour to prevent sticking. Flatten into thick disks. Place the disks on a lined baking sheet generously sprinkled with cornmeal. Allow them to rise until doubled in size.
03
StepIn a large skillet over medium heat, melt clarified butter. Carefully place muffin disks into the skillet, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Brown on both sides, flipping halfway through. (10-12 minutes) Continue to turn to ensure even browning and thorough cooking, then Transfer to a rack to cool completely (essential for splitting). (7-8 minutes per side)
04
StepOnce cooled, split the muffins using a fork, inserting the tines around the edges to separate the halves. Toast and serve with your favorite jam.
