ENGLISH MUFFIN TOASTING BREAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and instant yeast in a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer. Combine the milk, water, and oil in a separate, microwave-safe bowl, and heat to between 120°F and 130°F. Be sure to stir the liquid well before measuring its temperature; you want an accurate reading. If you don't have a thermometer, the liquid will feel quite hot (hotter than lukewarm), but not so hot that it would be uncomfortable as bath water.
• Pour the hot liquid over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Using an electric beater, or stand mixer with beater attachment, beat at high speed for 1 minute; the dough will be smooth and very soft. If you don't have a stand or electric hand mixer, beat by hand for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and starting to become elastic.
• Lightly grease an 8½×4½-inch loaf pan, and sprinkle the bottom and sides with cornmeal. Scoop the soft dough into the pan, leveling it in the pan as much as possible.
• Cover the pan, and let the dough rise until it's just barely crowned over the rim of the pan. When you look at the rim of the pan from eye level, you should see the dough, but it shouldn't be more than, say, ¼-inch over the rim. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, if you heated the liquid to the correct temperature and your kitchen isn't very cold. While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Remove the cover, and bake the bread for 22 to 27 minutes, until it's golden brown and its interior temperature is 190°F.
• Remove the bread from the oven, and after 5 minutes, turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

ENGLISH MUFFIN BREAD IN BREAD MAKER

Steps:

• 1. Place ingredients into the bread maker pan according to manufacturers suggestion. (Mine is wet on the bottom, dry on top, make a small well in the dry and place the yeast in that). Program your machine for dough cycle. Check your booklet to see what time the last rise will be on the dough and set a timer. Midway through the second kneading cycle, check the dough; it should be soft, smooth and slightly sticky. If needed, adjust the dough's consistency with additional flour or water, if necessary (you may need to use more flour -- or less water -- in the summer.) This dough will not be a light, fluffy dough, but a heavier dough. For a true English muffin effect, remove the dough after either the final kneading or before the final rise and roll it in cornmeal, or you can sprinkle it onto the top and gently press it down into the dough. Remove the dough for last rise. Place the dough into the bread pan that has been sprayed with a non stick spray and then cornmeal has been sprinkled on. Gently press the very dense mixture into the loaf and dust top with cornmeal. Cover the pan with a towel and let it rise until it has barely crowned the rim of the pan. This should be about an hour.
• 2. Preheat the oven to 400°. Remove the cover and bake for 22-27 minutes and golden brown with internal temperature of 190°F.
• 3. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes or so before turning it out of the pan onto a rack. Let bread cool completely before slicing. I recommend to make this the night before and let it sit to cool overnight (I left mine on the wire rack and covered it with a large bowl so air would still circulate but it would be protected).

ENGLISH MUFFIN BREAD

Steps:

• 1. The directions here is for dry yeast that is quick-rising. Preheat oven to 400F. Scald the milk and water until it's a bit hot on your inner wrist (110 Fahrenheit). Grease very well 2 regular loaf pans, 9 x 5 x 3 inches, and dust with cornmeal. In a large mixing bowl, stir together about 3 cups of flour, the salt, sugar, soda, and yeast. (That's right: the quick-rising dry yeast goes in dry with the flour.) Add the hot milk/water all at once and beat until mixed. Add the remaining flour slowly, but you should NOT have regular bread dough: the results should be something like a stiff batter. I use the lesser amount of flour. "Pour" immediately into the prepared bread pans and dust tops with cornmeal. Cover with a light, dry cloth and let rise until almost double in bulk (about 20 minutes for quick-rising yeast; twice that for regular yeast). Bake in a fully preheated oven for 25 minutes. IMMEDIATELY remove from pans and let cool on a rack. If you slice while hot, cover the cut end immediately with foil in order to prevent a gummy core.Freezes well; makes terrific toast; tastes great with cream cheese and/or jam.
