A classic English muffin that is a solid base for eggs benedict.
Ingredients
- 3/8 tsp. active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. water
- 2 Tbsp. oil
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 1 1/4 cup (156.3g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cup (156.3g) www flour
- 1 tsp. Himalayan pink salt
- 1/4 cup cornmeal (for bottom)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat milk and water until warm to the touch. Add to the bowl of a stand mixer, along with the yeast and honey.
- Add in oil, flour, and salt. Knead using dough hook just until dough is uniform.
- Allow to rest for 10 minutes, then knead on medium speed until soft and stretchy, ~5 minutes.
- Cover the dough in oil and place a towel over the bowl. Let rise at room temperature until bubbly, ~3-4 hours.
- Cover a silicone mat in a layer of cornmeal. Place dough on top and roll out into a rectangle that is 5” wide and 1/2″ thick. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and place in fridge for 8 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, allow dough to sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours until puffy. Use a bench scraper to cut dough in half horizontally, then cut vertically to make 8 or 10 equal squares.
- Heat a cast iron skillet on low (2) for at least 5 minutes. Round edges of each piece into a circle and place cornmeal side down onto the skillet. Cook on each side for 7-8 minutes, flipping when golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool.
