English Muffin Bread

If you like english muffins but want an EASY way to make them try this out. The texture is fantastic and makes awesome toast, fry up an egg and sausage and you've got a mean breakfast. The recipe makes two loafs so I like to slice up one then put it in a ziplock bag and into the freezer.


5 1/2 c Flour (3c all purpose and 2 1/2c whole wheat)
4 t instant yeast
1T salt
1 1/2 T sugar
2 3/4 c warm water

Mix together all the dry ingredients and then stir in the water, mixing well. Allow the dough to rise then pour into two 8x4 loaf pans. Allow the dough to rise again in the pans so that it reaches the top.
Bake at 350' for 45 minutes, until golden brown. (optional: brush with butter 10 minutes before they finish cooking)
Allow the bread to cool completely before cutting, like two hours. They are very moist when the come out of the oven, especially in the middle. After the are fully cooled they will slice well.
