From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...In the beginning days of One Perfect Bite, I made English muffins as a curiosity. There was no compelling reason to do so, but I wanted to add another notch to my belt and prove, basically to myself, that should the need ever arise, I had English muffins covered. While the process was not hard, it was way too much work for something I could buy in the grocery store just five minutes from my home. When I saw this recipe in Cook's Country magazine I had to give it a try. The bread seemed easy to make and I was curious to see if it bore any resemblance to the real thing. I can report that the recipe makes loaves that are dense and chewy and packed with nooks and crannies that are just waiting for a pat of butter and schmear of jam. Slices of the bread are almost like English muffins, and if you enjoy working with yeast, I urge you to give this recipe a try. The loaves are made like a batter bread and if you avoid overmixing, you just can't go wrong. Here is the recipe.
