Equipment
- Thermomix
- Stove-top
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon dried active yeast or 30g fresh yeast
- 300 g milk full fat
- 30 g caster sugar
- 30 g butter room temperature
- 1 egg large
- pinch of sea salt
- 540 g bread flour or plain flour
- semolina for sprinkling
Instructions
- Place the dried active yeast, milk and sugar into the Thermomix bowl. Heat for 2 minutes, 37 degrees, Speed 2.
- Add the butter, egg, salt and flour and mix for 5 seconds, Speed 6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix on Interval/Knead function for 2 minutes. Please note: the dough will be very sticky!!!
- Place the dough into a greased bowl or ThermoServer and allow to rise for aprroximately 1 hour or until doubled in size (see recipe tips below).
- Sprinkle semolina over a board and place the dough on top. Use a little extra semolina to roll the dough out until 3cm thick. Use a 9cm round cutter to cut out round circles. You'll get apprximately 8 English muffins (make sure they're not rolled out too thin... we want them nice and thick!)
- Place the muffins onto a tray sprinkled with extra semolina (to stop them from sticking). Leave for 20 minutes to rise again (this time they'll only rise slightly).
- Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and sprinkle with extra semolina. Cook the muffins (in batches) for 5-8 minutes either side (until they're golden and risen). Set aside.
- Once completely cooled, store the muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to use, cut the muffins in half and place into the toaster. Cook and then serve with eggs or your favourite condiments.

TIPS TO RISE YOUR DOUGH
Once you've made your English muffin dough, it's time to let it rise! Here's a few tips for helping dough to rise:
- place the dough into a greased bowl or ThermoServer (this will help to remove the dough later on)
- cover your ThermoServer with a lid. If you don't have a ThermoServer, cover your bowl with a tea towel to trap in the heat.
- place the bowl or ThermoServer in a warm and draught-free place to rise for approximately 1 hour (or until doubled in size).
- a warm spot might be in front of a sunny window, on top of a hot water bottle, in front of a fireplace. You can also heat you oven on low and then turn it off before placing your bowl/Thermoserver inside (just make sure it's not too hot or you may melt the lid/cook the dough!)
- Cooking the English muffins in a frying pan will par cook them. You will need to cut them in half and cook in the toaster when ready to serve.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze any leftovers for up to 3 months.
- Allow to defrost before cutting in half and cooking in the toaster.
- Serve with butter and your favourite spread, or eggs and bacon!
