Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
Add the melted butter and salt to the bowl, then gradually stir in the whole wheat flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 to 7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick.
Use a round biscuit cutter (3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles. Reroll and cut any remaining scraps of dough.
Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal and place the dough rounds on the sheet. Sprinkle the tops lightly with additional cornmeal.
Cover the dough rounds again with a clean towel and let them rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Do not grease the pan.
Carefully transfer the dough rounds to the skillet, cooking them in batches. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes on each side, keeping the heat low to prevent burning while ensuring the muffins cook through.
Remove the muffins from the skillet and let them cool on a wire rack.
Once cooled, split the muffins with a fork for the classic English muffin texture. Serve with your favorite toppings or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
