English Muffin Pizza reminds me of my childhood taste. Soft, fluffy, and delicious, with unique colorful toppings. These mini pizzas are just perfect for a cozy evening dinner.

I adore making pizza at home. At home, I try to add a lot of cheese I am just crazy and other qualitative ingredients. Margherita, diablo, or alfredo are some of the choices I enjoy making now with my kids. Kids find the fun of them, but I love watching them helping me.

For the best-tasting English muffin pizza, you can either buy the muffins or make them at home, just like I love to do. Nothing beats a homemade dish made with love and patience. The house is filled with a nice-smelling aroma that attempts you instantly try them.

English muffin pizza is easy to make, healthy to eat, and fun to customize. Some easy snacks that kids and adults adore.

Is it pizza night?

Yes, every time I make mini pizzas, I call it a pizza night. My family adores such gatherings and such delicious dinners. This kid-friendly recipe can be enjoyed at any time of the day, even for breakfast. They are soft and tasty and take some 20 minutes to bake. Buying English muffins will easier your job; however, making them at home, this dish touches another level – one of the finest and most sophisticated. I am always proud of making bakeries as they taste heavenly. I like to play with dough and experience different recipes. Try my version and get convinced.

How to make English Muffins?

English Muffins are just delicious! Surely you can buy them semi-prepared and then bake them. Without a doubt, they are good, I do not deny, but they never conquer with homemade ones. English muffins are surprisingly quick and easy to prepare, but as with any leavened dough, you will need some patience until it rests (rising). These tasty muffins are fluffy and light inside, with a slightly crispy crust outside. Specifically, cornmeal makes it possible for the muffins to have that beautiful irresistible crust.

First, activate the yeast. Mix in 1 tbsp of sugar and 1 pack (o,25 oz) of active dry yeast in a small saucepan with warm milk. Stir ingredients until sugar is dissolved, then rest for 5-10 minutes.

Crack one egg in the yeast mixture and pour ¼ cup melted butter. Mix well.

Combine dry ingredients: 4 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp sea salt. Now combine the liquid mixture with the dry ingredients. Knead the dough. Use either your stand mixer or knead it with your hands. Transfer the muffin dough to greased oil bowl and leave it to rise for 2 hours.

Once the time is out and the dough doubles in size, roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Make the shapes with a glass or biscuit cutter. Lay a baking tray with a slice of parchment paper. Sprinkle it generously with cornmeal. Arrange rounds on the tray and top again with cornmeal, cover with a towel, and set aside for one hour to rise.Preheat oven to 375 °F. Heat a frying pan over low heat. Gently lift each circle with a spatula, and fry them on each side for about 1-2 minutes. You should get golden-brown color muffins. Transfer the muffins back to the tray and send them to the oven for about 10 minutes.

I assure you that you don’t have much to do with this easy recipe of English muffins; the hardest part is waiting.
