I have always LOVED English muffins (unless they were a certain chain restaurant's egg mcmuffins-uck-with the name mentioned of such sandwich makes me squeamish). I love how they get lovely and toasty brown in the toaster. I recently made some awe-mazing bread...I cannot wait to toast it (and try it-the real test in my book).
English Muffin Toasting Bread
adapted from: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/english-muffin-toasting-bread-recipe
3 cups flour
1 T sugar
1 1/2 t salt
1/4 t baking soda
1 T yeast
1 cup milk
1/4 cup water
2 T oil
cornmeal
In your mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, soda and yeast. In another microwave safe bowl combine milk, water and oil. (Heat until 120-130 - I tested using my candy thermometer) Add hot liquid to dry ingredients. Mix well until soft dough forms. Grease a loaf pan well. Sprinkle bottom and sides of pan with cornmeal. Dump warm dough in pan. Let rise until just above the top of pan. Bake at 400 for 22-27minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan on rack. Dump loaf onto rack and cool completely. (crucial to do this before slicing)
