ENGLISH MUFFIN BREAD Recipe

Ingredients

1 tsp white vinegar
1/2 Cup very warm water
1 Cup milk (mix with the very warm water)
2 TBSP butter
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 - 4 1/3 cups flour (I use about 4 1/3 Cups)
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 1/4 tsp acitve dry yeast
CORNMEAL FOR COATING, OPTIONAL

Preparation

Step 1

Measure all ingredients, except cornmeal, into bread ban in sequence listed, or as instructed in manual for bread machine. Select basic white, 1 1/2 pound loaf and light crust: press start. About midway throught the second kneading cycle, check the dough; it should be soft, smooth and somewhat sticky, but not viscous. Adjust the dough's consistency with additional flour or water, if necessary. For a true English muffin texture, remove the dough (DO NOT STOP MACHINE), just before the final rise and roll it in cornmeal. Place the dough back in the bread pan and machine to rise and bake.
Makes 1 1/2 pound loaf.
