The EASIEST English Muffins EVER! You’ll Think They Are Store Bought!

Today Kevin is teaching you how to make ENGLISH MUFFINS! These are so easy you will never buy them from the store again!
Recipe:
1 ¼ cup warm water
1 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Tsp. Yeast
2 Tbsp. Melted Butter or Oil
2 ¾ Cups flour (Plus a little extra)
1 tsp. Salt
Cornmeal for dusting
Mix warm water and sugar in a large bowl and sprinkle yeast
on top. Let rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
Add oil and salt to mixture and then add in the flour until it is only
slightly sticky.
Put dough on floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes. Add flour
if necessary to stop dough from sticking to kneading surface.
Put the dough into an oiled bowl and cover with a towel until the
dough has double in size. About 1 hour.
Knead the dough a couple times and then divide into 10 equalish
balls.
Sprinkle corn meal on a piece of parchment paper and place the dough
balls on top. Flatten each ball to about 1inch tall. Cover and let rest for
20 more minutes.
Heat a frying pan on low heat and lightly oil. Place as many of the
muffins in the pan as you can and cook for about 8 minutes or until brown
on the bottom. Flip and cook another 5 minutes or until done.
Repeat with remaining dough balls.

I actually laughed out loud when you said "No one does a cooking video and says oh, that's terrible." Your muffins look great and your sharing this recipe is appreciated.

[@kimvickers1727]

“You don’t like it, go buy them at the store”.....LOVE IT!!! My grandma would say “you don’t like it, then don’t eat”......amazing how everything looks good when you get hungry enough 🥰🥰!!!!

[@freshwaterfarm4783]

MY mama said, “Hunger makes the best seasoning.”

[@CassandrasCreativeConcoctions]

My Dad's favorite saying is : " what's the difference between what you will and won't eat? " answer: " about 3 days. " Needless to say, when I grew up, you ate what was put in front of you, no complaints. I'm thankful for that. Love this channel, yall are great

[@suran396]

Loved the comments of your parents and grandparents! Too many children are absolutely catered to in their food choices. Eating ONLY chicken nuggets, or whatever. Before everyone freaks and starts screaming about their child with a legitimate eating disorder (usually early childhood eating disorders are linked to autism, etc,) Yes, I know in some cases it's a real thing. And I also acknowledge that some people just don't like a certain thing. But, that said, if you train your children that you will make or buy their favorite thing every time, you can end up like my brother and his wife who had to make THREE meals for dinner.....one their son would eat, one their daughter would eat, and one for them. Absolutely ridiculous. When my son was little, if we ate out at a restaurant, we NEVER ordered the kid's meal. I got what I wanted and my husband got what he wanted and we got an extra plate. Our son learned to enjoy a variety of foods very early. At home, the rule was: you don't have to eat it, BUT, you don't get something different...just what's on the table AND it's showing up again at breakfast and you have to at least taste it then. We never had to worry about him being picky at a friend's house and he will eat anything. It's great!

[@nancyk3253]

Great recipe! Thank you. Will try it. By the way, another good reason to make your own breads is that even the organic breads have TONS of preservatives and other unwanted ingredients in them! Good for you!! Stay healthy!!!

[@orscrub3161]

we too use to buy english muffins! i couldn’t believe how easy they are to make! no more store bought english muffins here either! 🤗

[@lsieu]

Me too! I like being able to make as much or as little as we need. These make great hamburger buns too. 🙂

[@katydidiy]

Cast iron heated in the oven will cook much more evenly. Before shaping the dough, put the pan in the oven, turn the heat to 400f and by the time your dough is ready, move to the stove top at your desired setting and begin. You'll be amazed at how they look!

[@kellys405]

I’ve made this 3 times now and it is on point and makes the best muffins! I double the recipe but wanted some texture so I used 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour to the whole flour mix. It was phenomenal. By far the best batch I’ve ever tasted. They freeze well. Love your channel.

[@carolschedler3832]

Thanks. I might add a bit of rye or wheat for more flavor and texture.

[@suran396]

Thank you for the "freeze well" info!!!

[@sergecrevier4196]

[@jodiestevens4390]

We have tried their bread, bagels, and English muffins. So appreciate these videos and instruction. We will never go back to store bought!!!! You won’t be sorry for trying these.

[@familleblanchette4539]

Hi Kevin and Sarah, great job on these English muffins! They looked delicious! We really enjoy your videos, you guys are really inspiring. As a baker, I wanted to give you a little trick of the trade. A simple technique that will make your breads, English muffins, bagels and other baked goods taste even better and last longer on the shelves. The technique is called a poolish, it’s a pre-fermentation technique. You take part of your ingredients, mix them up and let them ferment on your countertop overnight (or at least 2 hours before). If we take your English muffin recipe as an example, you would take the third of your flour (approximately 1 cup), add the same amount of warm water(1 cup) and a pinch of yeast, mix them up lightly by hand in a bowl, cover with a wet towel and let it ferment overnight. It will be very liquid, it is normal. The next day, you add the poolish to the balance of your ingredients and make your English muffins as you would do normally. Do not forget to subtract the ingredients of your poolish from your original recipe. Here is your English muffins recipe (with the poolish variation): For the polish: 1 cup warm water 1 cup flour a pinch of yeast Balance of your ingredients: ¼ cup warm water 1 Tbsp. Sugar 1 Tsp. Yeast 2 Tbsp. Melted Butter or Oil 1 ¾ Cups flour (Plus a little extra) 1 tsp. Salt Cornmeal for dusting This technique works very well for bread, English muffins, bagels, etc. Anyways, I hope you’ll give it a try, continue the great work!!!

I keep trying to convince my 25 year old son that girls LOVE guys who can cook. He's not buying it, but I keep trying. lol I've made the crunchy bread a few times now and it is as fantastic as Kevin said. It goes great with soups and stews. It's also great just by itself, toasted, with a little bit of butter and jam or peanut butter. Oh and Kevin, nice shave and beard trim. :) I will definitely be trying this recipe out. Thank you Kevin.

[@kermitandmisspiggyb]

It's true. I keep trying to convince my husband of that too. Not for him to get girls obviously, but because I would love cooking together with him. I really do think it's an attractive thing for a man to cook. The closest I have gotten to getting him to cook is that he makes coffee every morning and brings a cup. It means the world to me. He doesn't get why it means so much but I see it as an act of love and it makes me feel special every morning. He's been doing this since we married 16 years ago. He drives me crazy sometimes as I do him too, but I tell you I love him so much.

@@bonnieofbluebellbarn4181 Would think it'd be the same, just instead of rolling out/dividing, put dough directly into 1-2 loaf pans (depending on amt of dough & what size pans you used, might not all fit into one. Could prob use round cake type pan also, tho slices would def. be different than standard toast look) that were brushed w/ little oil & then dusted w/ the cornmeal... Can do same on top of dough too, if you choose. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned on top... cool.... slice... Then, toast when ready & Nom nom, have ya some!! :) Stay safe & be well.

It is the softest dough, and this recipe with your video I’m sure they will come out great. I’ll let you know. UPDATE: perfect!
