How to make English Muffin?

English Muffins are just delicious! Surely you can buy them semi-prepared and then just bake. With no 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 is resting(rising). These tasty muffins are fluffy and light on the 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. In a small saucepan with warm milk, mix in 1 tbsp of sugar and 1 pack (o,25 oz) active dry yeast. Stir ingredients until sugar is dissolved, then leave it to rest for about 5-10 minutes.

Crack one egg in 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 dry ingredients. Knead the dough. Use either your stand mixer or knead it with your hands. Transfer the muffin dough in greased with 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 at 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 muffins back on 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.
