Ingredients

Ingredients for 10 English Muffins

For the dough:
500 g Miscela per pizza
350 g lukewarm milk
30 g sugar
1 egg
40 g soft butter
Additional ingredients:
q.s. fine cornmeal (or semolina), for dusting
q.s. jam of your choice
q.s. butter, for serving

Preparation

  1. To prepare the English muffins, place the Pizza mix, lukewarm milk and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. 
  2. Give it a quick stir, then add the egg and melted butter. Knead the dough at high speed for 5 minutes, then reduce to medium speed and continue kneading for another 5 minutes, until the dough is soft and well combined.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and leave to prove in a warm, draught-free place until doubled in size – this will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare a small bowl with 4–5 tablespoons of cornmeal (or semolina) for dusting.
  5. Once the dough has doubled, divide it into 12 equal portions and shape each piece into a smooth ball. 
  6. Roll each ball in the cornmeal, pressing gently on both sides so it sticks well, and flatten slightly into a disc about 2 cm thick and 7–8 cm wide.
  7. Place the discs onto a sheet of baking paper and cover with a clean tea towel. Leave to prove again for 30 minutes.
  8. Heat a wide-based frying pan over a medium-low heat. Once hot, place a few muffins in the pan, leaving space between them as they will rise while cooking.
  9. Cook for about 8 minutes on the first side until golden, then flip and cook for a further 8 minutes on the other side. 
  10. Keep the heat moderate to avoid browning the outside too quickly – otherwise the middle might stay undercooked. Adjust the heat if needed. 
  11. Once cooked, transfer the muffins to a wire rack and keep warm while you cook the remaining batch. 
  12. Serve warm (or at room temperature) with butter and your favourite jam. 

Tip: English muffins shouldn’t be sliced open with a knife. For the traditional look and texture, gently insert the prongs of a fork all the way around the edge and pull apart by hand. These muffins also make an excellent savoury base – they’re famously used for eggs Benedict!
