Let It Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour or until doubled in size—patience is key here!

Muffin Time!: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin generously so that those beauties pop right out after baking.
