Method 1: Stand Mixer
Activate the yeast by combining the milk and water in a small bowl, microwaving until lukewarm, then stirring in the yeast and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Mix the dry ingredients by whisking together the flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Combine and knead the dough using the dough hook attachment on medium-low speed until the dough comes together, then increase speed to high and knead for another 3 minutes.
Let the dough rise by shaping it into a ball, greasing the bowl, and covering it to rise for 2 to 3 hours.
Method 2: No-Knead
Activate the yeast by combining the milk, water, and salt, microwaving until lukewarm, then stirring in the yeast and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Make a rough dough by transferring the mixture to a large bowl, adding the flour, and mixing with a fork.
Cover and leave for 30 minutes, then perform a round of stretches and folds, repeating this process for a total of four rounds.
Let the dough rise for 1 to 2 hours after the final stretch and fold.
Both Methods
Prepare the baking sheet by dusting it with semolina or fine cornmeal.
Shape the muffins by dividing the dough into 6 equal portions, shaping them into balls, and pressing them down.
Allow the dough to rise again for about 45 minutes.
Cook the muffins in a preheated skillet on low heat, adding butter and cooking for 5 or 6 minutes on each side.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
