Like english muffins, slices of this bread must be toasted to taste right. Grandma used to bake this in large greased cans coated with cornmeal, which added to the english muffin appearance. Today she uses non-stick pans.

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
½ tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup warm milk
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Place ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select the dough cycle.
  • Divide dough into two unequal parts, and shape into loaves. Place in one 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and one 7 x 3 inch loaf pan; non-stick pans are preferable, but greased and floured normal pans will suffice. Cover, and allow to raise until doubled in size.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bread. Look for fresh eggs, milk, and butter, and use good-quality flour.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest before baking: This will allow the gluten to relax and make the bread more tender.
  • Bake the bread in a hot oven: This will help the bread to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the bread: Overcooked bread will be dry and crumbly. Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Grandma's English muffin bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized with different ingredients to suit your taste. With these tips, you can make a perfect batch of English muffin bread every time.
