This was seriously YUMMIEST bread I’ve ever had!! I was so proud that I made this!
Now — I have never in my whole entire life made bread before, but I’ve wanted to try for a while. I couldn’t believe how easy this was!! It’s sooooo yummy toasted with butter and jam- I could just die. I really almost ate the whole loaf tonight. I feel quite sick but it was totally worth it.
English Muffin Bread
- 5 1/2 cups warm water
- 3 packages RAPID RISE yeast (You can use regular yeast, but you will need to let is rise TWICE. Once in the bowl, til it reaches the top…and then again in the pans, til it reaches the top. With the RAPID RISE you only need to let it rise once in the pans.)
- 2 Tablespoons salt
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 11 cups flour
- Mix altogether, then spoon into (4) well greased loaf pans.
- Let dough rise in pans until dough reaches the top of the pans, and bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown. (keep an eye on it for the last 10-15 minutes though.)
- 10 minutes before done, brush with melted butter. Makes 4 loaves.
- Bread will be moist at first. Allow to cool COMPLETELY before cutting.
taste rating: 10/10
like I said before, best bread I’ve ever had. no joke. it’s different than normal bread — it really is the consistency of English muffins. that being said, I don’t know if I ever want regular homemade bread again. especially when this was so stinkin easy!
ease of cooking: 9/10
this was a very very simple recipe — just throw everything in your mixer and be done with it. the only bummer was not having rapid rise yeast so I had to wait twice before I could get this goodness in the oven. even then, it was just a matter of patience, not a complicated recipe.
Special thanks to One Good Thing for this amazing recipe.
