ENGLISH MUFFINS BREAD MACHINE/NUWAVE/FLAVORWAVE OVEN
These are light and airy just like their counter parts. When cooked in the Nuwave/Flavorwave ovens, muffins will be "puffy". I make these every week and freeze them. They are wonderful! This is a converted recipe from Dustbunni, and a recipe she found on the internet. This is what she had to say about them: When I landed on this recipe while surfing the web, I had to try it. I'm so glad it did. They are delicious. Tip I: The dough should be soft but not sticky. It took me two attempts to get that just right. Tip II: I posted the recipe as written. After, several batches, I don't press the dough into a rectangle anymore. I divide it into eight equal pieces and pat each piece into a 1/2" thick round. Then, turn each round in dish of cornmeal. . There are a lot of really good reviews on this one. I converted it to be used in the Nuwave/Flavorwave Ovens. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Start the dough cycle.
- When the cycle is finished.
- Sprinkle corn meal over your work area.
- Use your hands to pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick.
- Turn the dough so that each side gets lightly coated with cornmeal.
- Cut into 8 to 10 rounds.
- An empty large tuna can works well When you run out of dough gather up the trimmings and cut more rounds. (I use a large mouth glass).
- Place the rounds on a baking sheet, cover and let rise for 20- 30 minutes--until not quite double.
- (Nuwave/Flavorwave Directions) - Once dough as risen, place in Nuwave/Flavorwave in round pan. Set the timer for 8 min on * 8 for temp or 80 % heat *. For theses you do no want to use hi heat, as they will brown to fast and will burn.
- Note: they will come out "puffy". I have left in traditional cooking if you want them "flatter". Either way they come out wonderful!
- Normal cooking directions: in frying pan, or on low flame. Cook on Medium heat for 7 minutes on each side. This will give the flat look for the English muffins.
- Heat a dry cast iron skillet or griddle over a low flame.
- (I do spray mine with Pam).
- Cook the muffins about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
- They should be golden brown when you turn them.
- Split the muffins with a fork or serrated knife and serve warm.
- These freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave or toasted.
- Note: these will be "puffy" if made in the nuwave/flavorwave ovens. If you like the traditional ones, I have left the conventional cooking as well.

Tips for Making English Muffins in a Bread Machine and NuWave FlavorWave Oven:
- Proof the Yeast: Before adding the yeast to the bread machine, proof it in warm water with a little sugar. This will ensure that the yeast is active and will help the dough rise properly.
- Use the Correct Flour: Use a high-protein flour such as bread flour or all-purpose flour for the best results. Avoid using cake flour or self-rising flour, as they will not produce the same texture.
- Follow the Recipe Carefully: Be sure to measure the ingredients accurately and follow the recipe instructions precisely. Slight variations in the ingredients or the process can affect the final outcome.
- Knead the Dough Properly: If you are kneading the dough by hand, knead it for at least 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If you are using a bread machine, select the dough setting and let the machine knead the dough for the recommended time.
- Let the Dough Rise Properly: After kneading, let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. If the dough does not rise properly, it will not produce light and fluffy muffins.
- Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet.
- Cook the Muffins: Place the baking sheet in the NuWave FlavorWave oven and cook the muffins at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Be sure to check the muffins regularly to prevent them from overcooking.
