Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
⅓ cup warm water
1 ½ cups bread flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 ¾ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅓ cup whole milk yogurt
⅓ cup whole milk
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon coarse cornmeal, or as needed
3 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter), divided

Steps:

  • Combine yeast and warm water in a small bowl and let bloom for 5 minutes.
  • Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Warm yogurt and milk to room temperature in microwave for 30 to 45 seconds.
  • Combine yeast mixture, yogurt, milk, butter, and honey in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Turn mixer to lowest speed and slowly add the flour mixture. Increase speed to medium; beat until dough is smooth and sticky, about 5 minutes. Turn dough out into a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly dust a baking sheet with cornmeal.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 9x13-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 8 square pieces or use a 4-inch round cookie cutter.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Place 4 of the muffins in the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Uncover skillet and flip muffins with a spatula. Cover again and cook until the other side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and lightly press into the cornmeal to coat. Repeat using remaining muffins and ghee.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until centers are cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then split with a fork.

HONEY WHOLE WHEAT ENGLISH MUFFINS

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup honey
Cornmeal, for dusting
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together flours, yeast, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In a small microwave safe bowl, microwave the water and milk until warm, about 30-60 seconds depending on your microwave. Add the honey to the milk and water, then add to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until flour is completely mixed in, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Using dough hook, mix (knead) until the dough is smooth and starts to pull away from the edges of the bowl, about 10 minutes. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide in to 8-10 equal portions and shape them into round balls. Dough will be sticky, but try to use the least amount of flour possible. Place balls of dough on cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal. Press dough down until it is about 1 inch thick. Spray tops with cooking spray and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let dough rise until double in size, about 40 minutes. Heat griddle or skillet to medium heat. Brush butter over hot griddle. One at a time, gently place dough cornmeal side down onto griddle, placing the dough 2 inches apart. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until bottom is well-browned, about 8 minutes. Turn muffins over, reduce heat to low and cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until muffins sound hollow when tapped.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Make sure the water is between 105-115°F (40-46°C) to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, the yeast won't activate properly.
  • Measure ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the most precise results.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the muffins their structure. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide gas, which will make the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Shape the dough into muffins: Once the dough has risen, shape it into 12 even balls. Place the balls of dough in a greased muffin tin.
  • Let the muffins rise again: Let the muffins rise again for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size. This will give the muffins their final rise before baking.
  • Bake the muffins: Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Honey whole wheat English muffins are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
