• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for about 15 minutes. Grandma bakes hers longer for a more browned and chewier crust.

ENGLISH MUFFINS (BREAD MACHINE METHOD).

Steps:

• Put ingredients in the machine in the order listed.
• Start the dough cycle.
• When the cycle is finished.
• Sprinkle corn meal over your work area.
• Use your hands to pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle.
• Turn the dough so that each side gets lightly coated with cornmeal.
• Cut into 8 to 10 rounds.
• An empty large tuna can works well When you run out of dough gather up the trimmings and cut more rounds.
• Place the rounds on a baking sheet, cover and let rise for 20- 30 minutes--until not quite double.
• Heat a dry cast iron skillet or griddle over a low flame.
• (I do spray mine with Pam).
• Cook the muffins about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
• They should be golden brown when you turn them.
• Split the muffins with a fork or serrated knife and serve warm.
• These freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave or toasted.

ENGLISH MUFFIN BREAD IN BREAD MAKER

Steps:

• 1. Place ingredients into the bread maker pan according to manufacturers suggestion. (Mine is wet on the bottom, dry on top, make a small well in the dry and place the yeast in that). Program your machine for dough cycle. Check your booklet to see what time the last rise will be on the dough and set a timer. Midway through the second kneading cycle, check the dough; it should be soft, smooth and slightly sticky. If needed, adjust the dough's consistency with additional flour or water, if necessary (you may need to use more flour -- or less water -- in the summer.) This dough will not be a light, fluffy dough, but a heavier dough. For a true English muffin effect, remove the dough after either the final kneading or before the final rise and roll it in cornmeal, or you can sprinkle it onto the top and gently press it down into the dough. Remove the dough for last rise. Place the dough into the bread pan that has been sprayed with a non stick spray and then cornmeal has been sprinkled on. Gently press the very dense mixture into the loaf and dust top with cornmeal. Cover the pan with a towel and let it rise until it has barely crowned the rim of the pan. This should be about an hour.
• 2. Preheat the oven to 400°. Remove the cover and bake for 22-27 minutes and golden brown with internal temperature of 190°F.
• 3. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes or so before turning it out of the pan onto a rack. Let bread cool completely before slicing. I recommend to make this the night before and let it sit to cool overnight (I left mine on the wire rack and covered it with a large bowl so air would still circulate but it would be protected).
