English Muffins

Cam
Prep Time 2 hrs 30 mins
Cook Time 30 mins
Servings 16 Muffins

Equipment

  • griddle or skillet
  • stand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup lukewarm milk
  • 3 tbsp softened butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 1/2 cup bread flour
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • semolina flour for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients except for the semolina in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until smooth and starting to come away from the sides - about 5 minutes on medium-high speed.⁠
  • Scrape the dough into a ball still in the bowl, and cover. Let it rise until doubled in size - 1 to 2 hours⁠.
  • Sprinkle griddle liberally with semolina. If it's not a non-stick surface, spray with cooking spray first.⁠
  • Punch down the dough and divide into 16 balls, and then transfer to the cold griddle (you'll probably have to bake in shifts)⁠
  • Flatten the balls down into disks on the griddle, cover with parchment, and let them rest for about 20 minutes. Put the rest of the dough balls on a semolina dusted baking sheet.⁠
  • Cook the muffins over a low heat for 7-15 minutes per side. Check the bottoms frequently to make sure you're not burning them. They're done baking when they reach 200°F internally. If they brown too fast, you can finish them in a 350°F oven until fully cooked.
  • Let them cool on a wire rack completely before eating. Don't forget to use a fork to split them, not a knife!⁠
  • Enjoy!
