Ingredients

Ingredients

3 to 3-1/4 cups bread flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1 pkg. (1/4 oz.) active dry yeast (1 Tbs.)
1 tsp. salt
3/4 cup water (120 to 130 F)
2 tbsp. canola oil
1 egg
1 tbsp. cider vinegar
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 tbsp. cornmeal, divided

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add water and oil; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add egg and vinegar; beat on high for 2 minutes. Stir in cheese and enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until dough is smooth and no longer sticky, about 2 minutes.

Roll dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a 3 inch round cutter. Roll scraps if desired. Coat baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons cornmeal. Place muffins 2 inches apart on prepared pan. Sprinkle tops with remaining cornmeal. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Heat an ungreased griddle or electric skillet to 325 F. Cook muffins for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown, turning every 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Split with a fork and toast if desired. Yield: about 16 muffins.
