Orange Blossom Muffins

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare a batch of bread dough using Orange Blossom flour and compressed yeast.

  2. Divide the dough into pieces and shape them into circular cakes, each ½ inch thick and 4 inches in diameter.

  3. Let the shaped cakes rise on a baking sheet for about 3 hours until light.

  4. Bake the muffins slowly on a griddle until they have a light brown ring in the center but remain white.
