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
- To prepare the English muffins, place the Pizza mix, lukewarm milk and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- 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.
- 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.
- Meanwhile, prepare a small bowl with 4–5 tablespoons of cornmeal (or semolina) for dusting.
- Once the dough has doubled, divide it into 12 equal portions and shape each piece into a smooth ball.
- 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.
- Place the discs onto a sheet of baking paper and cover with a clean tea towel. Leave to prove again for 30 minutes.
- 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.
- Cook for about 8 minutes on the first side until golden, then flip and cook for a further 8 minutes on the other side.
- Keep the heat moderate to avoid browning the outside too quickly – otherwise the middle might stay undercooked. Adjust the heat if needed.
- Once cooked, transfer the muffins to a wire rack and keep warm while you cook the remaining batch.
- Serve warm (or at room temperature) with butter and your favourite jam.
