Something about this time of year makes me want to bake bread. Probably because it keeps the kitchen cozy and my mind off the fact that it’s freezing outside and spring is far, far away. Sniff.
Anyway, my husband loves English Muffins and he requested that I make the bread version when he saw it on Cook’s Country (Any other fellow PBS fans??). Well I just happened to have a recipe pinned that I was going to try when out of the blue a reader gave me an English Muffin Bread Recipe that she makes and loves. What?!? So I knew I had to give this bread a try and let me tell you I was not disappointed. It was so delicious that I considered eating the whole loaf by myself, but lucky for my husband I practiced self-control and saved some for him. I will definitely be making this recipe again soon and I hope you will try it out and let me know what you think!
English Muffin Bread
1 c. milk
1/4 c. water
2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. cornmeal
Step 1: Bring milk and water to around 115-120 degrees (it should be warm to the touch, but not hot) and remove from heat.
Step 2: Add yeast and let sit for 5 minutes. It should bubble and start to smell yeasty.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl add flour, sugar, salt and baking soda to milk mixture.
Step 4: Knead by hand (or with dough mixer) for around 7 minutes. You can grease or flour your hands if it becomes too sticky during kneading. Once finished it should be slightly sticky, but workable.
Step 5: Spray loaf pan with cooking spray and sprinkle cornmeal around so that it covers the entire pan.
Step 6: Place the dough in the pan and cover with a tea towel. Let rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size. This should take around 45 minutes.
Step 7: Preheat oven to 400 and bake for 25 minutes or until brown.
Let cool, slice, add butter, honey, jam, etc. and enjoy!
