Nook & Crannies

While I was home a few days ago, I stole one of my mom's loafs of homemade english muffin bread. Well, actually she gave it to me.

I don't think I've ever met someone who doesn't like an english muffin. Whether it be to have as your "toast" in the morning, used as a sandwich, or as the crust for a mini pizza, in my opinion it is all good. The nooks and crannies in the muffin, make it all that much better....letting whatever you put on it, sink into those holes.
This recipe makes two loaves of english muffin bread. The loaves can easily be frozen and saved for later. This bread is SO GOOD. It's like having your english muffin, but just in bread form. The trick to getting it really good is toasting it dark or even twice. For some reason this bread only tastes better when it has that "crunch".

English Muffin Bread
2 pkg. yeast
1 T. sugar
2 c. milk
1/2 c. water
6 c. flour
2 t. salt
1/4 t. baking soda

Heat liquids and add to dry ingredients - mix well. Put into two greased loaf pans. Let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

See how simple that is? You cannot fail at this recipe. Another great one for bake sales or to give as a gift!
Little man and I are taking our walking adventures on the road today. It's only a high of 52, so I really don't feel like bundling him up. Instead we are doing a Target (or Tar-Jay, if you will) run with another mom and her little guy. Then probably walk the mall like the old folks!

Would you like to comment?

  1. Really? Like an English muffin?! Wow. My mother-in-law comes for a visit next week and loves English muffins. I guess I'll have to make this for her! :)

  5. Yeast and I are not friends. I avoid it all costs, and it avoids me by hiding at the back of my cupboard at all times. We've been together on 2 occasions, both with disasterous results!
    I do love English Muffins, and the bread looks fab!

  10. I've never heard of English muffin bread. I want to make this but have a question. Do you disolve the yeast in the liquids? If so, is it done before or after they have been warmed? Yeast and I are long time enemies, but I'd like to try to make amends with this recipe so thanks!!

  14. I'm making that today!

    I figured out the calories. If you cut each loaf into 10 slices, each slice is 147 calories, .4 fat and 1.2 fiber! Not bad!

    And, of course if you cut it into smaller slices, it would be even less!
