The Softest and Tastiest Homemade Muffins
These homemade muffins are incredibly soft, fluffy, and delicious. With a simple combination of flour, yeast, eggs, warm milk, and oil, you can make a batch of tender muffins that are perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or serving with tea or coffee.
Ingredients
- 900 g Type 500 flour
- 1 packet (7 g) dry yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 400 ml warm milk
- 180 ml vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, dry yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast becomes active.
- Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add the flour and knead until you have a soft, smooth dough.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, gently knead the dough again and divide it into equal portions.
- Shape each portion and place the muffins on a lined baking tray.
- Cover and let them rest again for about 20–30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven until the muffins are beautifully golden and cooked through.
- Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Tips for Soft Muffins
- Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, so it doesn’t damage the yeast.
- Don’t add too much flour—the dough should remain soft.
- Give the dough enough time to rise for the best texture.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container to help keep them soft.
