INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 21 ounces bread flour
    • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant dry yeast
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons kosher salt
    • ¼ cup semolina, or as needed

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥛 14 ounces lukewarm whole milk
    • 🍬 2 tablespoons white sugar
    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter, softened
    • 🥚 1 large egg, at room temperature, slightly beaten

STEPS

1

Place flour in a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast on one side of flour and salt on the other side. Add milk, sugar, butter, and egg; stir to make a soft dough.

2

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until soft, smooth, and stretchy, about 10 minutes.

3

Place dough into a large oiled bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

4

Deflate dough; divide into 16 pieces. Press each dough piece into English muffin rings; sprinkle both sides with semolina. Let rest 30 minutes.

5

Preheat a griddle to 400°F (200°C) or a heavy skillet over low heat. Cook muffins on the preheated griddle or skillet until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers reaches 200°F (93°C), 7 to 10 minutes per side.

💡 Use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour for the characteristic chewy texture.Ensure the milk is lukewarm to activate the yeast properly.Letting the dough rest after dividing helps the muffins hold their shape during cooking.Cook on low heat to prevent the muffins from burning before the interior is cooked.Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
