Nothing better than homemade bread! I’m loving trying new recipes, especially when they turn out amazing! This English Muffin Bread taste great, even better toasted, and easy to make. It’s a great alternative if you like English muffins but don’t have the skill or time to do the kneading, rolling and cutting. If you also love homemade bread but don’t necessarily have the skill or time to make it, I highly suggest purchasing a bread machine.
If you’ve never made bread in a bread machine, it’s seriously as easy as tying your shoes. Most recipes you just throw your ingredients in the bucket of the machine, close the lid and push a couple buttons and walk away. Come back usually around 3 hours later to fresh bread!
Let’s make fresh English Muffin Bread!
Place all ingredients into your bread machine. The amount of water you use depends on the time of year; use the smaller amount of water in the summer, or during humid conditions; use the larger amount of water in winter, or if you’re in a dry climate.
Set your machine for basic white bread, light crust, 1.5 lb loaf. Check the dough halfway through the second kneading cycle; it should be soft, smooth and slightly sticky. Adjust the dough’s consistency with additional flour or water, if needed.
This step is optional as it taste amazing without doing the cornmeal. If you want a true English muffin effect, remove the dough after either the final kneading or before the final rise and roll it in cornmeal. Place the dough back in the machine to rise and bake.
When the bread is finished, remove it from the machine, and place to cool on a rack. Either toast it or no toasting, either way taste amazing and everyone will love. My oldest perfects this recipe over any recipe I’ve tried so far. Works great as sandwich bread, toasted with butter and jam, or however you’d like to eat it. Hope you enjoy the recipe as much as we do!
