Yeasted Muffins

Based on a recipe in the book Breadtime Stories.

Yield - 10 muffins.

In a medium bowl dissolve the sugar in the lukewarm water and sprinkle the yeast on top. Wait until the yeast absorbs the water, sinks, and begins to bubble.

Heat the milk to lukewarm and add it to the yeast mixture, then add the salt and oil.

Stir in the flour a cup at a time. No need to knead the dough.

Cover the bowl and set in a warm draft-free place for about an hour until the dough rises and becomes spongy. Stir the batter down and fill silicone muffin cups about full.

Cover the muffins and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.

Place in a cold oven and turn it to 375° F.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The muffins should be golden brown on top. Serve warm or cold.
