Yes an easy if very wet recipe ! To make larger, bagel sized muffins, I let them rises on a cookie sheet (8 at a time) with another cookie sheet on top to help limit the rise to Toaster-Thickness Conveniently, that means placing shot glasses as spacers between the sheets They are ready for fresh baking, in the morning (64F climate) I too prefer both sides to be coated, unlike factory muffins; decadent ! Pre baking around 250F / 30 mins helps keep the precision thickness if you don't leave them overnight pan dry-frying, same as the video perfects them !

If we're making a larger batch and cant fit all our muffins in the pan for the second proof, do you have any suggestions on where to place them while they proof a second time ? I always end up deforming them when picking them up from my cookie sheet and placing them in the pan despite using a ton of semolina. Sorry for the long comment !! Thankyou.

There is no 13% flour in my country. It's all 10% at most. Only whole wheat gets to 13% and barely. Using all purpose flour yields a mess and I have to add 100g extra flour to get it manageable. Any alternatives? Like I don't know using potato flour or 1 part whole wheat flour or something? There is literally nowhere to get the usable flour here, it's insane.
