Whole Wheat English Muffin Recipe



Whole Wheat English Muffin Recipe

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup of warm water
• 1 package of dry yeast
• 2 cups of organic whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 cup of organic white flour
• 1 cup of skim milk
• 1 tsp of sea salt
• 3 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 tbsp of organic sugar
• 1/3 cup of egg whites
• Cornmeal as needed

Directions:

• Step 1: Sprinkle yeast over warm (about 105° F. is ideal) water and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, mix flour(s) and salt.
• Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix milk, oil and organic sugar. Add egg whites and stir until well blended. Stir in the yeast mixture.
• Step 3: Add liquid to about half of the dry ingredients and mix well, with a food processor, stand mixer or by hand. Mix in remaining dry ingredients. Dough will be soft and somewhat sticky.
• Step 4: Turn dough out onto floured work surface and knead for several minutes. If too sticky to knead, add flour, a tablespoon at a time.
• Step 5: Put dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Rising time will depend on temperature; allow about 1 hour or 1 hour and a half.
• Step 6: Turn risen dough out onto a large flat cookie sheet that has been dusted with cornmeal and pat or roll to about 1/2" thick. Cut into approximately 3 inch rounds with a cookie cutter, tin can, or jar lid. Combine the scraps of dough into more muffins. Cover the muffins with a towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
• Step 7: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle with corn meal. Cook about 4 – 5 minutes on each side. Outsides should be golden brown and crusty, insides should be soft, but not gooey. Check a muffin or two and see how well they are cooked.
• Step 8: Remove to cooling rack as they finish cooking.
