Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, combine the warm water and maple syrup. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, sea salt, and ground flaxseed (mixed with water). Stir until combined.

  3. 3

    Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients along with the olive oil. Mix until a dough begins to form.

  4. 4

    Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  6. 6

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.

  7. 7

    Using a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter), cut out muffins from the dough. Place each muffin onto a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.

  8. 8

    Cover the muffins with a damp towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  9. 9

    Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer the muffins to the hot skillet, cooking them for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  10. 10

    Once cooked, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool before slicing.
