Have you ever gone over your blog post for proofing and discovered that everything you’ve just written is absolutely rubbish? So terrible, in fact, that you can’t even bring yourself to hit the ‘publish’ button? Well, that just happened to me. I have all these half-put-together ideas floating around in my head, but my fingers just can’t type the into sentences, so I’ll get straight to the point.
Whole wheat English muffins! All the wonderful crunchy outsides and light fluffy insides of regular English muffins with the added nutritional value and complex flavor of whole wheat flour. Just make them – so you can enjoy one of these for breakfast tomorrow.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 egg
- cornmeal
Instructions
- Sprinkle the yeast over the water and leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
- In one bowl mix together the flours and in another bowl, stir together the milk, oil, sugar, egg and yeast mixture.
- Pour half of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until well incorporated. Mix the rest of the dry ingredients in and knead for about 5 minutes (in a mixer or by hand) until a dough forms.
- Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise until doubled in size - around 1 hour.
- Turn the dough out onto a cornmeal-covered surface and roll out until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 12 muffins using a round cookie cutter or a mug.
- Leave the muffins to rise on a baking tray covered with a towel for 30 minutes.
- Head a skillet over a medium-low heat and cook each muffin for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.
