With their soft, chewy texture and craggy surfaces that allow pools of butter to tuck into every nook and cranny, toasted English muffins are always a welcome addition to any breakfast spread<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you’ve never prepared an English muffin recipe from scratch, the process is a bit unique from other breakfast baked goods you may have made before. Unlike buttery croissants<\/a> or homemade bagels<\/a>, which are baked in the oven, English muffin recipes are rolled and cut like a batch of buttermilk biscuits<\/a>. Then, they’re cooked on a hot skillet like your favorite fluffy pancakes.<\/p>\n While the cooking process may be a bit different from other breads, it’s far from difficult. If you’ve made a pancake before, you can master the art of cooking an English muffins recipe. After you work through the recipe once, you’ll be hooked and whipping up a batch of these every chance you get. Serve plain with a smear of jam or butter, or pile your English muffin high with eggs, bacon and cheese for the breakfast sandwich<\/a> of your dreams.<\/p>\n Scald milk in a saucepan, then add the butter, sugar and salt.<\/p>\n Stir until the butter melts, then cool to a lukewarm temperature.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water (otherwise known as proofing yeast<\/a>).<\/p>\n Add the yeast to the milk mixture, then stir in the all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour until smooth. Add the sesame seeds, poppy seeds and enough remaining whole wheat flour to make a soft dough.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Scalding milk refers to the process of heating milk to a temperature just below boiling and then cooling to room temperature. Milk boils at around 212\u00b0F, so for scalding, you’ll typically aim for a temperature around 180\u00b0 and 185\u00b0. For best results, use an instant-read thermometer<\/a> to get an accurate temperature.<\/p>\n Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n Transfer it to a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about one hour.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Kneading your bread dough properly<\/a> is a great practice for any home baker to know. It will give you the texture you’re aiming for. You may also knead dough with a stand mixer<\/a>, if desired.<\/p>\n Punch the dough down, then roll to a 1\/3-inch thickness on a cornmeal-covered surface.<\/p>\n Cut into circles using a 3-1\/2-inch or 4-inch cutter. Cover the English muffin cutouts with a towel and let them rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Leave 1 to 2 inches of space between the English muffins while they complete their final rise to ensure they do not stick together. New to bread making? Here’s why bread dough rises<\/a>.<\/p>\n To cook, place the English muffins, cornmeal side down, in a greased skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until bottoms are browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is browned and the centers are fully cooked, 12 to 14 minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> You’ll have to work in batches of three to four English muffins at a time if you’re cooking them in a standard-size skillet. Alternatively, a large cast-iron or Blackstone Griddle<\/a> may also be used to cook the English muffins in larger batches.<\/p>\n Cool the English muffins on wire racks. To serve, split them in half and toast. Spread with butter or\u00a0homemade jam<\/a>, and enjoy!<\/p>\n English muffin recipes should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You may also refrigerate this English muffin recipe for a longer shelf life. However, refrigerated English muffins will dry out faster than those stored at room temperature. For more tips, check out this guide on storing bread so it stays fresh<\/a>.<\/p>\n When stored at room temperature, this English muffins recipe will stay fresh for three to five days. If refrigerated, English muffins may last for up to 10 days, but they could dry out before then.<\/p>\n If you don’t plan to enjoy your English muffins recipe within three to five days, freezing the muffins is recommended since it will best preserve their moisture and texture. To freeze English muffins, store them in a freezer bag or an airtight food storage container for up to three months. To enjoy, thaw them completely before slicing and toasting. Here are more tips about how to freeze bread<\/a>.<\/p>\n For make-ahead English muffin recipes, mix the dough as directed, then proof it overnight in a covered container in the fridge. (The cool temperature of the fridge slows down the fermentation process, so it takes longer for the bread to rise<\/a>.) When ready to use, let the dough warm at room temperature for one hour. Then, proceed with Step 3 of the recipe.<\/p>\n Forget about a knife; instead, use a fork to split your English muffin to get the wonderfully craggy surface. Insert the fork’s prongs into the side of the English muffin, carefully prying the muffin open slightly. Repeat around the entire muffin until you can easily split it into two halves.<\/p>\n While you can never go wrong with simply toasting an English muffin and slathering it with butter or jam, there are countless other ways to enjoy English muffin recipes. My personal favorite is eggs Benedict<\/a>. Top each English muffin half with Canadian bacon, a perfectly poached egg and a generous amount of creamy hollandaise sauce. For something sweet, try baklava English muffins<\/a>, or load them up with any of these many ways to love toast<\/a>.<\/p>\n Serve English muffins with any one of your favorite egg casserole recipes<\/a> or one of these other healthy egg breakfast recipes<\/a>. Add your favorite crispy hash brown potatoes<\/a> and a colorful minted fruit salad<\/a>, and you’ll have a brunch menu fit for a king and queen! Need to plan ahead?
