Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and a whole package of quick rise yeast to a bowl.

Pour in about 1 cup of warm water and stir to mix the yeast and sugar.

Let the yeast mixture sit for a few minutes until it activates.

In another bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir.

Add an additional half cup of water to achieve a gooey, sticky dough consistency.

Cover the bowl and let the dough sit for about an hour to rise.

After an hour, uncover the dough and note its sticky texture.

Sprinkle some all-purpose flour on a surface and transfer the dough onto it.

Shape the dough with your hands and cut out desired muffin shapes, making them thicker for sandwiches.

Sprinkle cornmeal on the muffins as they are shaped.

Cover the shaped muffins and let them rise again until they grow in size.

Cook the muffins on a griddle for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they start to brown.

Transfer the browned muffins to an oven preheated to 350°F and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes to cook the inside.
