{Recipe} Easy Homemade English Muffins

Freshly made English muffins are such a treat and easier than you think to make.

Ingredients:

{Basic Dough}
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp active dry yeast
3/4 cup lukewarm water, divided
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil
***
1 TBS fine cornmeal

To make:

• Place flour in large mixing bowl, make a well in the middle and add yeast mixed with 1/4 cup water. Let rest for about 10 minutes. If yeast bubbles you know it's working.
• Add salt, oil and remaining 1/2 cup water and combine all ingredients (except cornmeal) with a large spoon. Knead to form dough.
• Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let sit in a warm spot for 1 1/2- 2 hours until dough doubles in size. (I turn my oven on warm for a few minutes then turn it off and put the bowl in the oven to let it rise).
• Once dough has doubled in size, divide into 8 equal pieces and form into balls. 
• Sprinkle cornmeal on parchment paper, place dough on top and press down, the flip and press  again.

• Heat a griddle or skillet on  low-to-medium and add English muffins. (Don't place too close together or they could stick to each other).
• Cook on each side about 5-10 minutes, adjusting heat as needed, until brown on the outside and cooked through.

• Use a fork to split them open, then toast to your desired crispness and perfection.

Enjoy with your favorite spread and/or butter. So good!  Store cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. Can be frozen too!
