WHOLE WHEAT ENGLISH MUFFIN BREAD

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix just until incorporated. I use a Kitchenaid mixer, but it could be done by hand. The dough will be VERY wet and sticky.
• Let it rise until double in size.
• Spoon the dough into two well-greased loaf pans. Let rise in the pans until the dough reached the tops of the pan.
• Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Ten minutes before done, brush with melted butter. Cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water.
• Add the sugar, salt and dry milk and blend.
• Add half the flour and whisk for 1 minute.
• Set the mixture aside for 1 hour, or until the sponge falls back on itself.
• Beat in the oil.
• Add the remaining flour and mix well.
• Add extra flour if necessary to make a fairly stiff dough.
• With floured hands cut out about 20 four oz pieces of dough and form them into 3" patties.
• Place the patties on a greased cookie sheet and let rise about half an hour, or until they are doubled in bulk.
• Preheat griddle to 325 to 350 F and cook approximately 7 minutes per side.

HONEY WHEAT ENGLISH MUFFIN BREAD

Steps:

• Grease two 9x5 loaf pans. Sprinkle with course cornmeal.
• In the bowl of the stand mixer, stir 1 cup of all-purpose flour, all of the whole wheat flour, yeast, salt, and baking soda.
• Combine milk, honey, and water in the sauce pan or microwave safe bowl and heat until warm (105-115° F/41-46° C). Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Continue stirring and adding all-purpose flour until the dough is stiff. You may not need all of the remaining all-purpose flour.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pans. The dough will be sticky and won't necessarily look pretty in the pans, but that's ok. Sprinkle more cornmeal on top of each loaf.
• Lightly spray plastic wrap with cooking spray and lay sprayed side down over the loaf pans. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm draft-free location for 60 minutes.
• During the last 15 minutes of rising, preheat oven to 375° F/190°C.
• Bake for 25 minutes, until golden and the crust sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pans immediately and let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or toast the slices.

BREADBECKERS® WHOLE WHEAT ENGLISH MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine water, milk, honey and salt.
• Thoroughly beat 2 Cups of the flour, the flax meal and the yeast into the milk mixture to form a loose batter.
• Cover and let the "sponge" rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
• Beat in the softened butter.
• Knead in the remaining flour forming a smooth, soft dough for about 4-5 minutes.
• Turn the dough out onto a surface sprinkled with cornmeal and roll to a 1/2" thickness.
• Cut into 3-4 inch rounds. Let these rest on parchment paper or a slightly greased cookie sheet until doubled (usually just a few minutes).
• Carefully lift the rounds with a pancake turner oto a hot, well-buttered (I find grapeseed oil works best) skillet or griddle at about 350 degrees.
• Cook until lightly brown, turning once.
• Cool slightly and slice in half. Toast the halves, if desired.

WHOLE WHEAT ENGLISH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Sprinkle yeast over warm (about 105°F is ideal) water and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix flour(s) and salt.
• In a separate bowl, mix milk, oil and honey. Add egg and stir until well blended. Stir in the yeast mixture.
• Add liquid to about half of the dry ingredients and mix well, with a stand mixer or by hand. Mix in remaining dry ingredients. Dough will be soft and somewhat sticky.
• Turn dough out onto floured work surface and knead for several minutes. If too sticky to knead, add flour, a tablespoon at a time.
• Put dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place (see TIP) until doubled in size. Rising time will depend on temperature; allow about 1 hour.
• Turn risen dough out onto a work surface that has been liberally dusted with cornmeal and pat or roll to about 1/2" thick. Cut into approximately 3 inch rounds with a cookie cutter, tin can, or jar lid. If you wish, combine the scraps of dough into more muffins, handling as little as possible. Cover the muffins with a towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle with corn meal. Using a spatula, carefully transfer muffins to hot griddle. Cook about 5 minutes on each side, turn and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Outsides should be golden brown and crusty, insides should be soft, but not gooey. You might need to sacrifice a muffin or two as doneness tests.
• Remove to cooling rack as they finish cooking. Cook the rest in batches.
• English muffins are traditionally split open with a fork, rather than cut, and then toasted, but they will be good however you do it.
• TIP: To create a warm place for rising dough, microwave a glass of water for 2 minutes then put the bowl of dough into the microwave with the hot water. Heat from the water will provide an appropriate temperature--and the dough does not need to be covered, since it will not dry on the surface in this humid environment.
