Easy Bread Machine English Muffin Recipe

About 6 months ago our family cut out most artificial nonsense for our diets. That means if we want bread – we make it ourselves. One thing I really had a hankering for was an English Muffin, but I was intimidated about making these from scratch. English Muffins are actually super easy to make from scratch using a bread machine! These bread machine english muffin recipe are just one of our favorite family recipes I’ve shared on this blog of our family tested recipes!

English Muffin Recipe

Although you can make these bread machine english muffin recipe by hand, why take the time and effort when this handy appliance will do all the work for you! Just toss into your bread machine the following and set on “dough” cycle.

• 1 1/2 cups milk (we get organic whole milk)
• 2 Tablespoons butter, melted (we use organic salted)
• 1 large egg
• 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
• 1/3 cup cornmeal

Now that your bread machine has done all the work for you over the past 1 1/2 hour it is time to bake.
