Ingredients
- 400 ml whole milk
- 20 g granulated sugar
- 6 g active dry yeast
- 540 g all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 5 g sea salt
- 40 g unsalted butter softened
- semolina flour for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar and yeast. Give it a stir and let it sit for a few minutes.
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, egg, salt, yeast mixture, and mix until a dough forms.
- Add in the butter and continue to knead the dough until smooth.
- Lightly grease the bowl and dough, cover and let the dough rise (proof) in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Lightly dust the work surface with semolina flour or rice flour.
- Use a dough scraper to divide the dough into 15 equal portions.
- Shape into round balls, being careful not to deflate all of the air bubbles.
- Lightly dust the pan with semolina flour that you plan on cooking the English muffins on.
- Place the the shaped English muffins on the pan/baking sheet and leave enough space in between muffins.
- Sprinkle additional semolina flour on top of the muffins.
- Note: depending on how large your pan is, you may need to do this in batches.
- Repeat with the remainder and cover with a large piece of parchment paper.
- When the English muffins have puffed up slightly, cook on the stove over medium-low heat, about 7-8 minutes per side, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crisp.
- Cool completely before using a fork to split the muffins in half.
