English Muffin Bread
 
 
Makes 1 9"x5" loaf
Ingredients
  • cornmeal, to sprinkle in pan
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (see notes)
Instructions
  1. Grease a 9"x5" loaf pan. Dust with cornmeal and shake out excess.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and baking soda.
  3. In a medium bowl, heat milk, water and coconut oil until warm - about 30 seconds in the microwave should do. Add to the dry mixture and stir everything until it comes together to form a shaggy ball. Scoop dough into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Cover loaf with a clean kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in size, 1-2 hours.
  4. About 15 minutes before dough has finished rising, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  5. Bake for 24-28 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove pan from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Then turn out bread onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
If you prefer or it's more convenient, you can substitute vegetable oil.
