Mom ran out of the muffins that she likes with her morning coffee. She could have gone out or she can make homemade bread☺
English Muffin Bread
2 1/2 cups flour - divided, 1 package of yeast, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon baking soda, 1 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup warm water.
In a large mixer bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar, salt and soda. Add the milk and water and beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl occasionally. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining flour by hand. The batter will be stiff and you make have to knead it a few times to get all of the flour. Grease and 8" x 4" pan and sprinkle it with cornmeal. Put the batter in the pan and sprinkle with cornmeal on the top. It gives the bread a crunchy taste. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk - about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for approx 35 minutes. Remove bread from pan as soon as you take it out of the oven.
The crust spread with butter~ Yes, please!Mom has made this bread three or four times and it always comes out perfectly!
Mom always liked english muffins, so the bread is probably tasty too! That puzzle is pretty and super colorful.
