English Muffin Bread
This English Muffin Bread is the easiest bread recipe with all of the nooks and crannies of an English Muffin but in a quick, no-knead toasting bread!
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 2 1/4 tsp yeast (one packet of yeast)
- 1/2 tbsp honey or sugar
- 2 tbsp warm water, 110F
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 2 1/8 cups warm milk, 110F
- Butter and Cornmeal for greasing and dusting your bread pan
Instructions
-
Mix the yeast, honey, and warm water. Set aside.
-
Stir the salt, baking powder, and flour together.
-
Add the milk and one cup of the flour mixture to the yeast mixture. Blend well.
-
Add the remaining flour mixture, or enough to get a soft goopy dough and beat.
-
You should have a very soft, goopy dough that is a little thicker than pancake batter consistency.
-
Prepare your loaf pan by greasing it with butter or shortening and sprinkling it lightly with cornmeal.
-
Transfer your dough to your prepared loaf pan.
-
Set aside in a warm place to allow the batter to rise. The batter is finished rising when it has doubled or reaches the top of the pan. This will take between 20-30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile preheat your oven to 425F.
-
Dust the top of the loaf with cornmeal and bake for 20-25 minutes.
-
The loaf will sound hollow when tapped. Bake your bread for the full 25 minutes for a crisper, more golden crust.
-
Cool and slice your bread.
This bread keeps well for at least a couple of days if wrapped with saran wrap or stored in a Ziploc bag at room temperature. You can also store this bread in the refrigerator or even the freezer for extended storage.
