English Muffin Toasting Bread

By bakers_delight85

Ingredients

• 5 * 5 cups All-purpose Flour, Divided
• 2 * 2 packages Active Dry Yeast (1/4 Oz Each)
• 1 * 1 Tablespoon Sugar
• 2 * 2 teaspoons Salt
• * ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
• 2 * 2 cups Warm Milk (120-130 Degrees)
• * ½ cups Warm Water (120-130 Degrees)
• * Cornmeal (for Dusting)

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt and baking soda. Add warm milk and water (I always use a meat thermometer to make sure I get in the right temperature range). Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl occasionally. Beat on high for 3 minutes. Stir in remaining flour (batter will be stiff). Do not knead.

Grease two 8-1/2 in. x 4-1/2 in. x 2-1/2 in. loaf pans. Sprinkle pans with cornmeal. Spoon batter into the pans and sprinkle cornmeal on top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately to cool on wire racks.

Delicious toasted with butter.
