Description

After making your own fresh homemade English muffins, you’ll never go back to the store bought ones. This recipe is simple and comes together quickly.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Warm Water, divided
  • 2 Tablespoons Dry Yeast
  • ½ cups Warm Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 3-¼ cups Bread Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided

Preparation

Add 1/4 cup warm water and yeast to a medium bowl, cover with a towel and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, add remaining water, milk and sugar. Cover with the towel and let it sit for five more minutes.

Sift flour and salt into a stand mixer bowl. Using the bread hook combine the flour and the yeast mixture at a medium speed. Let the mixer knead the dough for about 7-8 minutes or until dough comes together.

Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let the dough rise for 3-4 hours.

After the dough has risen, punch it down and work it onto a floured surface. Split it into 8-10 equal-sized dough balls. Roll each ball between your hands to form a round ball of dough. Place dough balls on a cookie sheet. Cover with a towel and let them rise for 25-30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325 F.

Heat a portion of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop 2-3 dough balls onto the skillet, flatten them a bit and let the dough cook for 5-7 minutes until a golden crust develops. Then flip and cook the other side until it turns golden. Place the cooked muffins on a cookie sheet and repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. When done, bake for 10 minutes to ensure the insides are no longer doughy.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze for later use.

I’d like to try this. I’m thinking 31/4 cups of bread flour? Just want to make sure its the right amount…

Sounds like a nice simple recipe. I’m assuming that the 3-1/4 dashes bread flour is supposed to be cups??
