Easy Homemade English Muffin Bread Recipe Makes 1 loaf

If you like English muffins, then you will LOVE this recipe. It is a batter bread

that does include yeast, but it only has to rise once. It has the nooks and

crannies that you expect from an English muffin and it toasts beautifully!

I like it warm, right out of the oven slathered with butter and orange

marmalade. BTW, it's from a recipe from a Fleischmann's Yeast ad, 1981.

Although this recipe is simple and has few ingredients, it is very flavorful. It

takes toast to another level. We like it for garlic-cheese bread too.

Unlike the traditional English muffin recipe,

About the Ingredients

• Flour-Use a good quality all-purpose flour that has been "fluffed up" before

measuring.

• Yeast-I used 1 pack of Fleischmann's yeast for this recipe, not the "rapid-rise.

• Sugar-Just plain white granulated sugar to feed the yeast.

• Salt-I used sea salt.

• Baking soda-Just a pinch is all that's needed. (If doubling the recipe,

use ¼ teaspoon.

• Milk-Use whole milk to get the best results.

• Water-Like all of my cooking, I don't use tap water. I normally use filtered

water from my fridge. Our tap water has way too much chlorine in it.

• Cornmeal-It wouldn't be English muffin related without it!

This is a 4½ x 8½-inch loaf pan from USA pans.

• It's important to remove the bread from the pan as soon as it comes out of the oven. I wrap it immediately in plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.

• This recipe is easily doubled.

English Muffin Loaf Bread

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (divided)

• 1 pkg dry yeast

• 1½ Tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp salt

• Pinch of baking soda

• 1 cup milk

• ¼ cup water

• Cornmeal (for sprinkling in pan)

You will need a 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan that has been greased and

sprinkled with cornmeal. See our Pan Release recipe here. Preheat

oven to 400°F 5 minutes before batter has finished rising..

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt and baking soda.

2. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and water until quite warm (120°F to

130°F); add to the dry mixture; stir briskly until well blended. Stir in the rest of

the flour to make a stiff batter. The ingredients should be thoroughly mixed.

3. Spoon into the prepared pan; sprinkle top with cornmeal. Cover; let rise in

warm place for about 45 minutes*. Bake in preheated 400°F oven for about

25 minutes. Remove from pan and cool. Wrap tightly. Each loaf makes

about 10 to 12 slices that will toast beautifully.

* I preheat my over to 170°F, turn it off and then place a cake pan of boiling

water in the bottom of the oven.
