HOMEMADE ENGLISH MUFFINS



Homemade English Muffins image

You can't make a true homemade English muffin without using bread flour. It gives the muffins the chewy texture you identify with and love. I've tried many recipes with both AP and bread flour, and this is the best of them all.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     English Muffin Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

21 ounces white bread flour (4 1/2 cups)
2 ¼ teaspoons instant dry yeast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
14 ounces lukewarm whole milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 large egg, at room temperature, slightly beaten
¼ cup semolina, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place flour into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast on one side of the flour and salt on the other side. Add milk, sugar, butter, and egg; mix to make a soft dough.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until soft, smooth, and stretchy, about 10 minutes.
  • Place dough into a large oiled bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double the size, about 1 hour.
  • Deflate the dough and divide into 16 pieces. Press each into English muffin rings. Sprinkle both sides with semolina and let rest another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a griddle to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), or a heavy-based frying pan over low heat. Cook the muffins on the preheated griddle or pan until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a muffin reaches 200 F (93 degrees C), 7 to 10 minutes per side.

ENGLISH MUFFIN BREAD



English Muffin Bread image

You could have hot bread in about 1 1/2 hours! This really does have the texture of an English muffin, is fabulous toasted and requires no kneading. A Hunt's 26-ounce spaghetti sauce can is exactly the right size and shape to turn out loaves that slice into authentic-looking English muffins. Recipe from "Great Whole Grain Breads" by Beatrice Ojakangas (out of print but absolutely fantastic. Simon & Schuster, 1984, 1993)

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, brush the top of the bread with melted butter before baking.
  • To make sure the bread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • For a sweeter bread, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • For a more savory bread, add 1/4 cup of grated cheese to the batter.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the batter, such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips.
  • English muffin bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
