About English muffin
English Muffins are small round yeast breads cooked on a griddle rather than baked as a loaf. This profile follows King Arthur Baking's bread-flour version enriched with milk, butter and egg and dusted with semolina.
The muffins are mildly sweet and buttery, with a clean wheat flavour and a faint toasted note from the griddle. Milk and egg keep the crumb tender while the yeast provides a gentle fermented aroma.
Each muffin is a squat pale-golden round with deeply browned flat faces and a dusting of semolina. Fork-splitting exposes an airy, chewy interior filled with irregular pockets and craggy edges.
