Ingredients

  • 3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 to 2/3 cup lukewarm water
  • 2/3 cup PLAIN yogurt
  • ¼ cup semolina or cornmeal
  • oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In the bowl of a mixer, whisk together the flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and spices. Fit your mixer with the dough hook attachment, and add the pumpkin puree, water (start with 1/3 cup, and add more a little at a time if the dough is too dry––up to 2/3 cup), and yogurt to the dry ingredients. Turn the mixer on low and knead for 5 minutes. You can also knead by hand for 10 minutes. After kneading, let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
  2. On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about ½ an inch. Cut into 12-15 circles with a 3-inch round cutter (a drinking glass works well). Sprinkle a baking sheet with the semolina and place the muffins on it. Slide the muffins around so that the bottoms are evenly coated with semolina. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for an hour, until almost doubled in size.
  3. Heat a flat griddle pan until hot and brush with oil. Reduce heat to medium and add the muffins in batches. Cook each batch for 14 minutes, 7 minutes per side, until firm and golden brown. Turn only once.

Notes

  • Makes about 15 English Muffins.
