Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.25 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant dry yeast, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add warm water and unsweetened applesauce to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle raisins over the surface. Fold the dough and knead gently to distribute raisins evenly.
Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat with oil. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Sprinkle a baking sheet with some cornmeal. After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out circles from the dough. Gather the scraps, reroll, and cut out more circles until all dough is used.
Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with more cornmeal. Cover them with a cloth and allow to rise for another 15-20 minutes.
Preheat a griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
Carefully transfer the muffins onto the griddle. Cook for 7-10 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Cool on a wire rack before splitting open with a fork.
Enjoy your sugar-free cinnamon raisin English muffins warm or toasted!
