ENGLISH MUFFINS BREAD MACHINE/NUWAVE/FLAVORWAVE OVEN

Steps:

• 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.
• 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. (I use a large mouth glass).
• Place the rounds on a baking sheet, cover and let rise for 20- 30 minutes--until not quite double.
• (Nuwave/Flavorwave Directions) - Once dough as risen, place in Nuwave/Flavorwave in round pan. Set the timer for 8 min on * 8 for temp or 80 % heat *. For theses you do no want to use hi heat, as they will brown to fast and will burn.
• Note: they will come out "puffy". I have left in traditional cooking if you want them "flatter". Either way they come out wonderful!
• Normal cooking directions: in frying pan, or on low flame. Cook on Medium heat for 7 minutes on each side. This will give the flat look for the English muffins.
• 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.
• Note: these will be "puffy" if made in the nuwave/flavorwave ovens. If you like the traditional ones, I have left the conventional cooking as well.

ENGLISH MUFFIN BREAD WITH VARIATIONS (MICROWAVE)

Steps:

• Place warm water in large warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved. Stir in warm milk, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Gradually stir in enough flour to make soft dough.
• Grease well a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches microwave-safe loaf pan; sprinkle with cornmeal. Place batter in pan; sprinkle with additional cornmeal. To let rise, microwave uncovered, on MEDIUM (50% power) for 1 minute. Let rest 10 minutes. Repeat microwaving and resting 1 or 2 times, until doubled in size. (Or just cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled - obviously this will take a bit longer).
• To bake, microwave on HIGH (100% power) for 4 to 6 minutes or until top is no longer moist. Let stand 5 minutes in pan. Remove from pan; let cool on wire rack. Slice and toast to serve.
• Caution: Recipe developed for 650 watt microwave oven. If yours is stronger, shorten the time. You can always add time, you cannot subtract it. To adjust times, find the power setting on your microwave that most closely matches 650 and 325 (the 50%) settings. For example, if your microwave is 1200 watts, 50% is 600, closest to 650 - you might add a little time. 30% power is 360, no adjustments in time should be necessary.
• Whole Wheat: Substitute 1 cup whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour. Proceed as above.
• Cinnamon-Date: Add 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon along with baking soda; blend well. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped or snipped pitted dates, along with flour. Proceed as above.
• Orange-Nut: Add 1 tbsp grated orange peel along with baking soda; blend well. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped toasted blanched almonds along with flour. Proceed as above. (I actually like pecans better).
