ENGLISH MUFFIN BREAD

If you are a big fan of English Muffins, this is the bread for you! It is absolutely delicious!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We have always been big fans of our Homemade English Muffins and thought bread might be delicious. We were right, it is wonderful, especially toasted with butter and jelly. This recipe makes 2 loaves, but they don’t rise much, so honestly, it will be perfect for a family or give a loaf to your neighbor!

BEST TO ENJOY WITH

We love this bread toasted with butter and jelly, but I really feel like it would make a great French toast too. Also, you can use this to make a delicious egg sandwich; the bread has enough structure to hold up.

⭐TIP

Be sure to sprinkle the pan with cornmeal; this will help prevent sticking. You want it to come out of the pan easily.

Prep Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 45 minutes

Course bread, Breakfast

Cuisine American

1/2 cup warm water
4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 1/4 cups warm milk
Cornmeal for dusting pans

Spray or grease 2 (9×5) bread pans. Sprinkle cornmeal on bottom and sides of pans. In a bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of warm water with the yeast and sugar. Stir. Let sit for 10 minutes or until yeast begins to bubble.
In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the yeast mixture and the warm milk and mix with a spoon until ingredients are incorporated and wet.
Divide ingredients with a spoon adding half the dough to each pan with the spoon. Spread dough out level in the pans. I use the back of a wooden spoon that has been dusted with flour. You can sprinkle the top of the dough with a little more cornmeal if you want.
Cover and put in a warm place to rise from 45 to 60 minutes. I heat my oven to 170 degrees, turn off the oven and cover my pans with a dish towel and put in oven to rise.
Dough should double in size or come to the top of the pans. It probably won’t rise above the sides.
Once dough rises, heat oven to 400 degrees and bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes until brown on top.
Let cool for 10 minutes and remove from pans. Let cool completely before slicing.
Makes 2 loaves.
