Cinnamon Raisin English Muffins
This recipe creates cinnamon raisin English muffins with a tender, moist crumb and a slightly chewy texture. The blend of bread and oat flours, along with cinnamon and raisins, gives these muffins a warm flavor and a subtle sweetness. Cooking them on a griddle yields golden-brown, lightly crisped exteriors dusted with cornmeal. They require resting after shaping to allow the dough to relax, ensuring even cooking and characteristic nooks.

Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups milk whole, lukewarm
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp butter softened
- 1 ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ Tbsp sugar
- 1 egg lightly beaten (room temperature)
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 ½ cups oat flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp yeast dry
- 1 cup raisins
- cornmeal for sprinkling
Instructions
- Place the ingredients (in order listed, except for the cornmeal) into a bread machine and set the dough cycle. Add the raisins when the machine beeps for the addition.
- When the dough has doubled in size, place it onto a work surface dusted in flour (it will be a bit wet). Cut the dough into 12 pieces.
- Form the pieces balls, then flatten them into muffin shapes about 3 1/2" in diameter. Dust on both sides with cornmeal. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
- Use a little oil on the griddle and then cook the muffins on a low to medium low low heat for about 15 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Open one muffin to make sure they are thoroughly cooked.
- Split the muffins in half with a fork before toasting.
