Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Start by mixing the first five ingredients listed together either with a mixer that has a bread hook attachment or in a large bowl (make sure not to over mix the dough).

Once combined, divide the dough into two greased and floured bread pans.

Next let the dough rise in the pans until it reaches the top of the pan (about 30 minutes).

Then, place the bread in the oven. Bake the bread for 35 minutes on the center oven rack.

Then 10 minutes before the bread is done, brush the surface of the bread with melted butter.

Place the bread back in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on your toast bread so it doesn't get too dark.

After baking, let the bread cool in pans for about 5 minutes before placing it on a wire rack.

Finally, after allowing the bread to cool completely, cut and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Activate Yeast Properly 🧪
Dissolve rapid rise yeast in warm water (105-110°F) for 5 minutes before mixing to ensure optimal fermentation and a lighter, airier crumb structure in your finished bread.
Cornmeal Base for Texture 🌽
Dust your baking surface and bread bottom with cornmeal before baking to create the signature English muffin nooks and crannies while preventing sticking.
Steam for Crust Development 💨
Place a pan of hot water on the lower oven rack while baking to create steam, which develops a golden, slightly crispy exterior perfect for toasting.
Room Temperature Proofing 🌡️
Allow dough to rise in a warm, draft-free environment (75-80°F) for even fermentation; avoid direct sunlight which can cause uneven rising and toughness.
Cool Completely Before Slicing ❄️
Let the bread cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack before slicing to set the crumb structure, preventing gumminess and ensuring clean, even slices for toasting.
