You can't make a true homemade English muffin without using bread flour; it gives the muffins the chewy texture you identify with and love. I've tried many recipes with all-purpose and bread flour, and this is the best.

Ingredients

21 ounces (4
2.25 teaspoons instant dry yeast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
14 ounces lukewarm whole milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons butter , softened
1 large egg , at room temperature, slightly beaten
0.25 cups semolina , or as needed

Instructions

1

Place flour in a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast on one side of flour and salt on 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 degrees F (200 degrees 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 degrees C), 7 to 10 minutes per side.
