English Muffin Bread is a no knead, no fuss kind of recipe! You simply mix all of the simple ingredients together in a bowl and let it rise. Then bake it to perfection. Slice it, toast it and then slather it in butter and jam! This makes the most perfect toast for every day breakfast.
I used to be so scared to even attempt to make bread from scratch! Now I make some form of homemade bread or rolls once a week. I’ve learned some tricks and tips that took away the mystery of it all and I’ll be sharing those soon!
I wish I had discovered this English Muffin Bread years ago because it literally is the easiest I’ve ever made. You don’t knead it or have to proof the yeast before mixing everything it.
The hardest part about this bread is remembering in advance to get it started before you want to eat it.
I’ve made almost all of my bread recipes for my friends and this is the one that they ALL ask the recipe for. Even more than the Crusty No Knead Artisan bread recipe!
It’s especially fantastic toasted. I’m talking, taking you to the moon and back, fantastic! Way better than any English muffin you can buy in the store. It’s slightly chewy, but there is so much fluffy goodness there to balance out the crisp edges.
Since we are all friends here, I’ll let you know that I love it slathered in butter and jam. Like, almost floating away in a river of butter with sweet jam on top. Blueberry, peach, strawberry or lemon curd. I could go on for days!
