Homemade English Muffin


Ingredients:
300g Bread flour
200ml milk ~ lukewarm
15g butter ~ softened
15g castor sugar
6g salt
6g instand yeast
Cornmeal flour/Semolina for dust

Direction:
  1. Mix the yeast in the milk & set aside for 10 mins till frosty.
  2. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl except cornmeal flour/Semolina.  It is very soft dough. (Note: Do not pour all the milk at once instead pour slowly & mix it until it becomes a dough)
  3. On the work surface, sprinkle some flour & knead the dough for about 10 mins.  Roll the dough into a ball & cover the bowl in a warm place.  Let the dough rise until it's nice & puffy for about 1-1.5 hours.
  4. Gently deflate the dough & roll out into a disk abt 1 cm thick & use a round cookie cutter (3") cut out 8 disk & place on a tray dusted with cornmeal flour or Semoline & sprinkle on top of the dough generously.  Set aside in a warm place to raise again for about 20 mins.
  5. Heat a heavy flat pan on medium-heat & cook the muffins for 8-10 mins each side or until their crust is golden brown.
  6. Remove the muffins from the pan & let them cool thoroughly for atleast an hour.  Use a fork to split the muffins to give a wonderful nooks and crannies.
