Perfect English Muffin Bread

This easy english muffin bread recipe has all of those nooks and crannies and craters of a perfect english muffin but in a quick, no-knead toasting bread. There's only one rise so it's completely done in just a little over an hour.
NOTE: It's not baking powder. It's baking soda... an absolute slip of the tongue for me.

I chose your recipe because I love the “nooks and crannies “ I see in your bread.

[@dougkostelansky5208]

I’m going to try this tomorrow. Been looking for a batter bread to bake in a new wood oven, looks delicious.

[@dougkostelansky5208]

Made them yesterday, great flavor and crunch, I’m going to try this in English muffin rings and see how it holds up. Thanks for the recipe

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

@@dougkostelansky5208 Wood oven? I'm jealous!

[@christymasher]

I think jalapeno honey would have been a great addition.

Late night baking! Mine are rising right now - first try and I'm so excited!!! 😄 17:57

Please post ingredients under description And amts The other site doesn’t show Tried several times! I would really like to try this recipe- your results looked great. Otherwise you could simply tell us the amounts as you are putting it together on the video.

I just got done making this bread. Not only is it easy, it is delicious!

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

So glad you liked it.

[@SpeechlessCanadian]

I agree. Just made this and my bread is always to yeasty tasting....this recipe was not and is sooo aaaamazing. Will definitely make again. Made one loaf with herbs and cheese on top it was yummy also

[@boothgoodies6348]

Listen, I can’t bake for nothing. I even mess up frozen cookie dough. But this recipe... I nailed it. Twice! Just a few ingredients, not a lot of time, and it’s supposed to be gloopy. I can’t believe I actually made bread!

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

That's awesome!

[@ljolin5764]

This is the 3rd recipe I've used for English Toasting Bread and it is by far, THE BEST. The other recipes added the yeast into the dry ingredients, which works, but not as well as letting it develop on its own. Also, this dough is much "gloopier' than the others and as Marye says, that is what makes the wonderful nooks and crannies. I had to use closer to 3 C of warm milk to keep the gloop ratio after I added all 4 1/2 C of flour to the mix. Still came out PERFECTLY delicious. I want to try Marye's recipe for Amish Milk bread next!

[@vh2337]

I've got them in the oven right now! I tried making English muffins a few weeks ago and it wasn't good. Hopefully these loaves will turn out just fine. I'm glad you addressed the over rising of the bread, I've had a few of those myself in the past and didn't know what it was from so thanks for the info.

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

How did it go?

[@daniellekatrina]

This bread is DELICIOUS! Super easy too! I made 2 loaves this morning and just made another 2 for the neighbors! Thanks for the recipe ☺️

[@suzannest-laurentdvorak459]

That’s cornmeal flour, not corn meal?

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

cornmeal is cornmeal flour as far as I know.

[@cynthiamarquart373]

So we are using Masa Harina which is cornmeal flour. Course ground cornmeal is grits. I had the same question. Got it. ❤️

This is delicious! Super easy to make. I’m making my third batch today! No more store bought English muffins in this family! I slice the second loaf and put parchment paper in between each slice and freeze. Take out what we need and toast!

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

That's how I freeze it, too. :)

[@dianehall5345]

Hello from New Hampshire in March 2023! We are in the middle of a major snow storm and I was in the mood to bake. This is a great recipe! I wish I had sprayed my Kitchen Aid mixing bowl and dough hook. Next time. Using the doug hook worked out fine. Did not over tax my standard artisan model, but mine was mfg in 1977 and its a workhorse! Dough rose to the to of the top of the pan nicely. I set the pans on a grow mat ( 70F ). Can't wait to try it with a cup of tea! Thanks for sharing this recipe. ~ Diane

[@cathys949]

I have an old Kitchenaid too, made by Hobart. It will last until the Second Coming!

[@sandyevans7454]

Such excellent information in this video. Seeing what gloopy looks like and the tip about buttering the spatula and the tip about corn meal….all very helpful! I’ll use this recipe to go along with Christmas Jam for presents this year.

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

Thanks Sandy!

[@bridgetbean79]

Making this now! It's sitting in the pans waiting to rise. I think I made mine not-so-gloopy, a bit too much flour. Will see how it turns out, though!

[@carvercook54]

This is by far the best English muffin bread I’ve made. Thanks for the detailed instructions.

[@mrsfolkartist76]

Bread flour? I'm gonna use Unbleached AP. What's your opinion on adding some vinegar to make it taste like Thomas's?

[@dedickerson8064]

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

Thank you Angela!

[@anicak.5340]

having a hard time figuring out the right flour for this, used "0" type flour and it turned out good (for a bread) but did not get the nooks and crannies, next try it type "00"... anyone got a better suggestion? I'm based in Italy but loooooooove english muffins

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

You want something as close to American all-purpose flour as you can get. White Flour/Type 550 is the closest European version.

[@tracizammetti8367]

I just found this recipe. I am going to make it today (hopefully) I was thinking that I can use it for sandwiches, or Pizza like I would use an English muffin for.

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

YEP! That's what I do! Try it for French Toast

[@mike9119]

Very nice, looks like you're using corn flour not corn meal on the video. I do remember seeing in the store corn meal. Most dry yeast now days you just put it in with the flour and go, no need to proof it anymore unless it's yeast in cubes. Look forward to making the bread instead of round shaped.

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

I always like to proof my yeast - if it happens to be old I'd like to know before I'm trying to get it to rise but many people do skip this step. I am using corn meal.

[@ShakeMyWay]

Nice! This is a good recipe! The only thing I'd say is that looks like cornstarch, not cornmeal. Cornmeal is very rough cut.

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

But I promise this is indeed cornmeal. I was there.

[@boothgoodies6348]

I forgot about the bay leaf tip. I need to add some my grits and cream of wheat as well.

[@nancygibson2659]

Looks like corn bread mix instead of corn meal. Trying your recipe today. Looks better than the recipe I have used for years. I’m excited to taste it! Thank you.

[@ritageorge8748]

[@coffeewithlinda]

That is corn “flour”, NOT corn MEAL, whic is MUCH coarser.

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

Ummm THAT. is cornmeal. Came out of a package that says "cornmeal". Don't mean to be rude but I know what I use.

Is cornmeal the same as polenta? Thanks 😊

[@MaryeAudet-RestlessChipotle]

No, polenta is ground much more coarsely.
