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.

Yield 24

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.

  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time: This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Whether you like them plain, with nuts, or with fruit, these muffins are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give Grandmother's muffins a try.
