I ran out of English muffins and bread. I'm not going to the store anytime soon so decided to make these. They came out amazing! I did make two small changes based on the King Arthur Flour recipe which I looked at as well. Before the 2nd rise, I sprayed my stainless steel skillet with olive oil (just a spray, not a lot). I placed the rolled balls directly into the skillet instead of a baking pan. I flattened the balls and sprinkled them with regular cornmeal on both sides and let them rise about 20 minutes. I put my burner on low/medium and cooked them about 7 - 8 minutes or so on each side. I did not add any additional oil or butter. Once they were nicely browned on both sides, I turned the burner off and removed the muffins to a wire rack. One of them miraculously disappeared just like in this video. It never made it to the wire rack. These are soooo good. Slightly crunchy on the outside....soft and a little chewy on the inside.

This recipe is stupendous! I've made it a dozen times, sometimes a double batch. It is a favorite with friends and family. It is my go to bread for egg sandwiches. If I may be so bold permit me to offer some changes. I reduce the yeast to ¼ teaspoon and let it rise for 18 hours, like Food Wishes' no knead ciabatta bread. I oil a one gallon zip lock bag and pour the dough in. If you do not have someone to hold the bag open stretch it over a bowl or flower vase, being careful not to rip the bag. With the dough safely in the bag I deflate the dough and, with whetted hands, I fold the dough over, while in the bag, and deflate again. I repeat two or three time. I then put dough in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. I have left it in as long as four days. I deflate and fold the dough at least once a day.When I am ready to shape the muffins I use no flour. I line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spray it with no-stick spray and sprinkle generously with corn meal. With the dough still in the bag I deflate and fold the dough two or three times. With wet hands I cut off and weigh out a 3 ounce portion of dough. With wet hands I pull the dough down on its self to form a smooth skin, just like you would do with dough for dinner rolls. I place it on the prepared baking sheet and press down. When all the muffins are shaped I sprinkle the top generously with corn meal and press down to flatten again. I cover with plastic wrap sprayed with non-stick spray. I let rise in a warm place for 1 ½ hours. When I am ready to fry the muffins I remove the plastic wrap and cut the parchment paper around each muffin. I pick up the muffin with the parchment paper on my hand the flip it into the hot ghee. That is the top of the muffin is fried first and then peel the parchment paper from what was the bottom of the muffin. Refrigerating the dough has many advantages. The cold dough is easier to handle and eliminates the need to add flour when shaping. The flour used for shaping does not have time to hydrate and, unless you are extremely careful, will result in a dense muffin. It allows more flexibility in making the muffins. With the dough in the frig you only need to find 2 hours to have the muffins ready to serve. I think the muffins are best the day the are fried. I've fried a portion of the same batch of dough over a few days. Thanks to Food Wishes for this recipe and I hope you find my suggestions useful.

I made this on a whim in the wee hours of the morning and it WORKED. The air bubbles were there, the glorious crust was there, and I was a very happy person when breakfast time came along ^_^ Ooh, and it even works with bread flour, too! (though to be honest that was because I didn't have enough all-purpose and I had to sub in some bread flour) I had to add a little more water considering the dough was much dryer than expected, but if you achieve the same consistency before the first proof, you should get the same result as Chef John does. Thanks for another handy-dandy recipe!

I’m So glad you confirmed exactly what I’ve done all my life , and that is to carefully tear english muffins open rather than cut them in half with a knife. It must have been something I was shown as a child, it was Sooo long ago I really can’t remember who showed me, ( must have been Mom) but it really IS THE best thing to do as when they’re toasted, all the little tears & rips become crispy & taste wonderful when buttered.

Beginner here, and I've had a question regarding a few dough recipes like this. I've noticed that several dough recipes instruct the cook to let the dough rise, and then knock the air out immediately after. Would someone kindly explain what the purpose of letting the dough rise is? I always feel like that step is forfeited when the air gets knocked out anyway, but I know there must be some reason, otherwise it would be skipped. Thanks for the info in advance! I've been a subscriber to Chef John for years now and I really enjoy the comforting tone of the videos, the funny dry jokes, and the friendly instruction. Thanks for being a positive force in my life from afar, Chef John! I often turn to your vids when I need a soothing voice to listen to, when I have trouble falling asleep, or when I'm lonely. Social anxiety often prevents me from reaching out to friends or family, so it's difficult to find comfort for me. I really value your work and humor, and I've learned a lot to boot.
@funkiebutch96906 жыл бұрын
The reason to let the dough rise is to let the yeast reacts or "eat" the flour. Due to the reaction, the yeast release carbon dioxide which cause the dough rise and create sort of airy pockets in the dough. This is the difference between bread recipe using yeast and the ones without yeast. The ones without yeast would be hard and not soft as yeast bread. After the dough is rise, you need to knock off the air, because you don't need it.

+36thgallardo only if you add the salt directly to it, since he activated the yeast before, there was no problem :)

I darned near fainted when I saw the latest price tag on a sleeve of those boring ones at the market. Now I'm making the dough part with cheat of my Z bread machine, but using the dough ball and grill tech here. Rock on Chef John!

Tams1978 Sorry weirdo. Not everyone has hours upon hours of time to waste in their lives to make English muffins. When someone says "Easy" its suppose to actually be quick and easy. Not take a monumental amount of time out of our busy lives. Some of us have to work for a living.

+Elazul2k I feel sorry for you because you're not willing to take the time to make anything that takes more than a few minutes to do. Some of us have families to raise and are busier than you are with your "job" and we still find time to make things. You seem like a very impatient person.

+Elazul2k As far as having a job goes, lots of people work and they still find time to make things that take some effort. Sorry you aren't willing to try making anything that doesn't involve a microwave.

Watching this reminds me of a song often sung in an Elementary School classroom. It went like, "Have you heard the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man who comes down Drury Lane." How do you hear a muffin man? The answer is that in the Victorian era they carried a bell that they held up high & rang vigorously. They could be heard blocks before they could be seen.

English Muffins do not exist in England. Most people have never heard of them. They are an American invention. The closest ting in England would be Scones, which is like eating baked cardboard.

+Michael Hill That's funny because you can buy muffins in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Waitrose and every other supermarket and grocery store I have been to in England and most English people I know eat them regularly.

You obviously ate scones that weren't made correctly. They can be delicious if made right and not over baked, etc.
@jamesjfisk49686 жыл бұрын
You are correct. The version of "English Muffins" demonstrated in this video, just like their namesake sold in American grocery stores, originated in the US in the 1880s, in Manhattan to be precise. But they were invented by an Englishman; an expat named Samuel Thomas, who originally called them toaster crumpets. They quickly became popular and their name was officially changed to "English Muffins" in 1894. The traditional muffins made in England for centuries are quite different from Thomas's product.

What garbage, of course you can get them in England - but we generally just call these type 'muffins' - there are other types of muffin, google Oven Bottom Muffin for example.

Easy English Muffins? I just go down to Sainsburys and buy a pack of four English Muffins... This is what annoys me about youtube recipes, when they say you can make these mass produced products yourself but they never mention the cost or the time it takes to actually do it, and it's ridiculously inefficient to make these recipes if you're on your own. Nothing against Chef John though, I love his videos.

+viperhalberd It's because if you don't like cooking or baking yourself, even frying an egg is troublesome for you. I enjoy baking so I don't mind the extra time needed to let the dough rise. It is also a moot point to elaborate on the cost and time needed to bake doughy things like English muffins because as I said, you need to let the dough rise so for sure it'd take some time until you can get it into your mouth. If buying a pack of English muffins is good for you, then go ahead. But you'd be pretty dumb I should say if you are ambitious enough to want to bake English muffins but you're complaining about the time needed to do it.
