English Muffin Bread



I ended up with a bunch of old recipe cards from my Grandma (I love old recipe cards, the handwriting, the yellowness, the notes!) I go through them and pull out something that looks interesting every once in awhile. This is a great recipe. It tastes just like an English muffin and is so fantastic toasted! More frugal than buying the packaged ones from the store too! -Sarah

2 packages yeast
6 cups flour
1 T. sugar
2 t. salt
1/4 t. baking soda
2 cups milk
1/2 cup water
cornmeal
  • Combine 3 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt and baking soda.
  • Heat liquids till very warm (120-130 degrees).
  • Add liquids to dry mixture. Beat well, stir in rest of flour to make a stiff batter.
  • Spoon into 2 loaf pans that have been greased and sprinkled with cornmeal. Sprinkle tops with cornmeal. Cover and rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and cool.
