Hi Bold Bakers! If you love a good English Muffin, then do I have a treat for you - make your own! Get my new written recipe: bit.ly/How2MakeEnglishMuffins

Here in the Philippines they don't sell (or even know what English Muffins are) The recipe is great but what I did differently was to rise 1/2 hr and then cut the shapes then let sit for 12 hrs then cook on super low heat in a cast-iron skillet with 1/2 butter 1/2 olive oil. I find it had a lot more "poof" and more nooks and crannies to hold the melted butter. The rise was after the English Muffin was shaped. I have experimented with a lot of different recipes for this. Hope this may be helpful. NOTE: always split with a fork :)

Just finished making these. Oh my god. So I followed her advice, when mixing the dough I just added bit by bit of the wet until it formed a rough shaggy dough. I didn't expect it to turn out nice, the dough didn't seem moist enough but I figured I'd follow the process through. 18 hours passes, I take out my dough which smells fermented and is now soft and very smooth. I make the muffins, they seem small so I make 6 instead of 10 (I also don't have a cutter so I just did squares). They bloomed up in the pan and are now the size of 1.5 crumpets each, which wasn't my intention hahahaha They taste delicious. I'm about to prep some fake breakfast mcmuffins to freeze using them! :) Occasionally you come across a recipe which is a GAME CHANGER. This was 100% one of those recipes. Super easy. No kneading. My kitchen is clean and they came out perfect.

I've made these and they're a little tricky to handle if they're too wet but my oh my are they good. So worth it!

Permit me to say that I am a competent cook but a useless baker. My English muffins were perfection. Thank you Gemma. This is the beauty of your work - demystifying baking and making it possible for a highly-strung cook like me to actually make this. I'm terrified of the dough. No sycophancy here. You're very good. Generous too. ⚘⚘⚘

Thank you for EXPLAINING the why's of the techniques you use. It is my biggest qualm about recipes, I never know why I should do this or that. This looks great!

I tried it out this morning and it turned out absolutely wonderful. Thank you Gemma. I used half sprouted whole wheat and half all purpose. I think 1/4 tsp salt for 2 1/2 cup flour ( as per recipe) is little less so I added a little more salt. Thanks again for sharing.

You are my favorite chef on YT. I think your recipes are incredible. They're perfect for a home like mine. Newlyweds, building a dream. The basics are all we can afford right now. We don't even have an oven yet. But, I love to cook. It's my therapy. I can still make all these delicious fun recipes on a very tight budget. Thank you ❤️

If you end up holding back any of the liquid, you’ve missed out on some of the butter. I’d tend to add the butter separately just to make sure it all went in.

I love english muffins so much! I know theyre predominantly eaten as breakfast sandwiches or for brunch but I happily eat them at any time instead of regular bread or roles, I sometimes use them as burger buns and its delicious.

THANK YOU! THIS IS EASY. I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO TRY THIS. No mess. No starter dough wow. Yes this is a keeper

I would just like to say thanks for the awesome recipe. They are so good, and way better than anything you can buy. I made three batches already in two weeks. I add 50 grams of spelt flour and just use water instead of a mix between milk. And they turn out great everytime. Thanks 👍

Your website brought me here. I needed a recipe to sell this product at a local farmers market in Mexico. This is an easy recipe with a small learning curve. Thank you Gemma.

I so need more No Knead recipes 😁 Thank you Gemma ❤

Cool, I've been warming up the milk when making bread; glad to see I hit on the right idea!

love how you explain WHY you do certain steps. Thank you

I mixed these last night and finished them this morning. Thank you, thank you. These muffins are WONDERFUL!!!

I've been baking muffins like these my whole life from a passed down recipe that is much more time consuming. GOOD JOB simplifying without sacrificing flavor, appearance or texture!!

I used bread flour instead and added a bit more liquid than she recommended. Just letting you all know as you're right, flour is different wherever you're at but it was very successful! I just made the dough at night, went to bed, and worked on it in the afternoon the next day! Very easy and everyone loved it! Thank you!

I make this recipe yesterday, and this morning I had a problem shaping my muffins. Next time, I'm going to divide the dough up equally into 8 or 10 pieces and shape them by hand. I cooked them on my electric griddle and they came out perfectly I had one with a bowl of soup recently and it was delicious it was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with lots of nooks and crannies. The dough wasn't Rising like I thought it should so I added an extra quarter teaspoon of salt and half teaspoon of yeast, dissolved separately in tablespoon of water and I added extra quarter cup of flour also. I loved the fermented taste it was wonderful!

You've amazed me yet again Gemma, I don't know how you do it! Now things like this can be made even in the summertime, without heating up the oven and getting the house as hot!

Thank you. Using your recipe during covid-19 crisis. Grocers out of bread, so I'll make English muffins. ❤️

18 hours sound like a long time! Especially in my house where bakes don't last longer than 8 minutes ;D will definitely try during this quarantine period! Thanks for all your great work, Gemma❤️

Hi I just made the dough yesterday and cooked it this morning. I love sourdough breads and it's perfect since I'm controlling my sugar intake. It was a success!

Gemma - have to tell you. Yeast dough and I don't get along. But I love English Muffins and I'm in Hungary where they don't know what that is. Made a batch of yours....they turned out phenomenal. So much so that I pretty much devoured all yesterday so I mixed a new batch that I'm about to go and steam/fry. Hope it will turn out equally phenomenal - large holes throughout, total perfection. Thank you. p.s. the dough turns out very sticky after rising so I turn it out on lots of flour and simply pat it out to close to 2 cm (not 1 as you suggested because I like a tall muffin) but the cover on them while in the skillet is essential.

I think it's wonderful how you take the time to answer people's questions.

I just made this recipe, they turned out amazing. Thank you for the video.

I just made these. They came out great! So easy. I jumped the gun a little bit on proofing. Definitely let it fully proof in a warm spot and puff up a bit. This is so different than other recipes I have found. So glad it worked!

These are lovely and came out perfect. I dusted with cornmeal before cooking. I also made some orange marmalade to top them off! Thank you for sharing your recipes and tips, so easy to follow and so delicious...they are helping me get through this quarantine. Stay safe!

Great recipe... just an idea... I've been making my own bread for years already, NEVER using clingfilm... I just simply moisten a clean kitchen towell and pop it on top... environmentally friendly, and I never had a skin on my doughs. :)

I love this channel...Gemma is so informative and easy to follow with No inflated ego....no names mentioned Gordon Ramsey!

No way! I've never had English muffins before! I should definitely try these to make Eggs Benedict.

This is the best English muffin recipe ever! My muffins turned out so soft on the inside and crispy on the outside (I used cornmeal). After a few failed attempts at making English muffins, I'm so happy to have found your channel. Thank you so much for the recipe!

gemma, you totally amaze me with your creativity and passion I am going yo make these as soon as possible.

Love English Muffins will have to try this , thanks for showing how to do it

I will place each of them on a parchment square sheet so it will be easier to transfer the muffins by holding the paper edges and flipping them over into the skillet :)

Made this dough last night and completed the job this morning. So far I’ve had 3 of the 9 it made. Excellent and very simple recipe. Mine didn’t seem to rise as much as Gemma’s, but they still came out fine, so that might have been a misconception on my part. I also looked at other recipes after I made this one, and every single one or them was significantly more complicated. This recipe is simple and has wonderful results, so I decided to make another batch tonight into tomorrow!

Gemma, I really appreciate yours recipes. You make everything seems so easy . I keep making that Crazy Dough Cheese Bread and for the past year we never bought store bread again!!! Thank you and your crew for the excellent videos 🥰😘🤩

I’ve been following you since 2015 I didn’t know anything about baking but when I found your channel my baking skills improved a lot. Thank you so much for the easy ways of baking, and by giving tips and showing us on how to do things easier. Happy now that finally you will be having a baby. Keep inspiring us Gemma. You’re a gem. Loveyah and thank you.❤️

I just made these, they are so good and much better than store bought. Thank You Gemma for sharing the recipe! I only adjusted to 1 cup of milk because I replaced with 1 cup of whole wheat flour.

I made them today and they were SO GOOD! We don't sell English muffins here but I'm so surprised at how easy they were! I let mine rise for 15 hours :)

Oh lovely that's just amazing on my weekend bucket list of baking you are making inspiration as I am just 11 years old😍😍😍... It's because of u that i can bake so well amd i want to become a proffessional chef (edit) I ended up liking my own comment.. Coz nobody else will

Awesome! I love English muffins but we only get them here in our city (🇵🇭) via import. Can't wait to try this so we can enjoy it fresh from the pan. Thanks for this recipe! 😋😉

Thanks for the fun I had making these muffins. I was inspired to make a dear family friend a special treat. She is from Manchester and is stressed about this COVID-19. she works long hours in a nursing home and I know that this will bring her some joy.

We love English Muffins filled with a sausage patty, poached set egg and slice of cheese. Its so much tastier than Macci-dees version. Soft scrambled egg or cream cheese and smoked salmon is yummy too. We eat so many muffins and crumpets in the UK, its part of our DNA. Thanks.

You made me so hungry! 😉 I love them toasted, then goes butter, cheese and vegimite or marmite on top. Yummy! Congratulations on publishing your book 😄

I’ve made several English muffin recipes and this one is by far the best! Yummy!

Finally a recipe that I like. I have tried others and this is the best

Ive made them twice now, I've added more salt and made them bigger this time, they turned out wonderful! Thanks for the recipe!

Delicious, is what these are! Made with love! ❤ Thank you for this easy breezy recipe! 👍🌹👍

I just enjoyed eating one of these! The recipe was so easy and the muffins were delicious! Thank you!

Fantabulous recipe!! I lovelovelove this recipe! Gemma Stafford really makes a truely authentic English muffin! It's really very bubbly n craggy--a real English muffin!! I've had many kinds--I'm from the States though I live in S. Korea right now and it's very difficult to get a true English muffin here--I've never had one here so far--which is why I like making baking my own bread though I'm a bad cook. And it looks as if many KZfaqrs who claim to make English muffins don't know what a real authentic English muffin taste like or look like! and so simple too! Although u need to let the dough sit for at least 18hours and cook it in a pan (I do prefer baking bread in an oven since I keep burning the muffins when I cook them in a pan--) --this is the bestBEST English muffin recipe I've ever tried!

Love her recipes. Plus she sounds like my mom and I miss her😢 so extra extra love 🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻

I love how well you explain everything 🥰 You are the best, thank you from Australia 🇦🇺

Hi..Thank u for the wonderful recipes,May I kindly ask a no oven vanilla cake or sponge cake,that we can use for frostings for birthdays etc. If that is also made on stovetop,it really completes the list..Luv u for thinkinh about those who do not have oven..Keep rocking

Thanks for the excellent receipe! I first tried it a few weeks ago and the dough was too wet (I know you've warned us in the video!). The taste, however, was great. Today is my second attempt and they seem perfect so far. They're going to the frying pan in about 30 minutes. Cannot wait! 😋😋😋 Cheers from Brazil!

Brings back childhood memories. Used to have English Muffins all the time. Will definitely be making these someday. Thanks Gemma

May I just say that English muffins are my favorite kind of bread for breakfast.

Julia Child made English muffins once, but I never tried the recipe because her dough was really loose & soft, and you had to pour it into molds (she used empty tuna fish cans) on the griddle. This looks much easier. Mr. Samuel Thomas would approve.

These English muffins have blown me and my entire family and friends away! I’ve made white and wheat ones and holy crap are they amazing

Thank you for this excellent tutorial. End result looks great! Will definitely try it. You have a lovely, clear voice, and would like to hear your talk through without that agitated, competing background music. Cast iron pan, as one of the commentators below mentions, might be a better, less toxic substitute for any 'non stick'. But otherwise---thanks again for your very well put together tutorial.

I live by English muffin, ok?! It is amazing I will definitely start making my own

These look amazing. And I love the details and tips you include. Thanks for sharing.

no surprise Gemma has done so well for herself, such enthusiasm and well explained methods anyone can follow. gwan ya good ting!

Made dough yesterday and cooked this morning...amazing! Turned out great, big hit in our house!

mind blown!! yet again... . Great job🤗☺

Brilliant. I learn so much from this channel.

Wonderful recipie. I used the left over milk/butter mix in the scambeld eggs that accompanied the muffins for brunch.

Hi Bigger bolder:) Thanks for this awesome recipe 👍🏻 I make these every Monday morning. I love no kneed and prepare mixture the night before idea this works great for me. Thanks I love how you explain your recipes.

Amazing every single time . GOD BLESS YOU Gemma

Thanks for sharing this recipe! I will definitely try! ❤️

I love these english muffins,So convenient to make and super perfection !!!!!! Thanks for sharing,Gemma !!!!

Am I the only one that was not only intrigued and excited to try this recipe but also loving the color of Gemma's nail polish? ❤ Gemma, please share that too 😁

That looks good. I want to try and make it vegan. I'm glad I saw this. I suck at yeast breads but I think I could handle this recipe.

So glad KZfaq suggested your channel! I don’t have a stand mixer and don’t want to get one. So happy your recipes don’t require it.

Oh, Gemma, you got me with this one. I dearly LOVE English muffins, but in my whole 70 years, have never had a fresh home made one. Rarely buy because I just hate to pay the killer price at the store. Can't wait to try yours. I imagine the yeasty smell is heaven! And the spongy texture with butter and plenty jam.... To die for!! Bless you, my dear. :))

Oh, wow. Ms. Gemma! I can hardly wait to try this! Thank you!

looks amazing. gotta try this; been looking for a good sour dough recipe.

I JUST made these using the exact recipe...and it worked out EXACTLY AS SHOWN....MMMM THANKS!!! I will NEVER buy an english muffin again. I had never made any yeast related anything until this...and now I am Hooked...you're the best, I looked at a lot of different KZfaqs and this is the one I chose. I did do a little "no no"...I added a teaspoon of sugar to my yeast...did that just add calories?? I wanted to feed it....:)

I tried your recipe and they turned out great. I get tired of buying English Muffins and I liked that I can cook them on the stove. Thanks!

Hello Congratulations on your book! I was wondering if you have an English CRUMPETS recipe, prefably overnight dough so it's just to cook it in the morning for breakfast?! Thank you & have a lovely weekend!

Great recipe and really well demonstrated thank you

Adore your teaching skill. I've always understood these need to be pierced all around and the separated to create a craggy surface. I've never seen anyone slice one.

Love all your recipes. They are all true and very easy to follow. Thank for sharing. ❤❤❤

Mmmmmmmmm... those English muffins taste so good. That taste fluffy and spongy bread. Great recipe. See u next time.

I am just waiting for my exams to be done. Then I am gonna make aaalllllll the recipes of urs which I couldn't try. Especially this one...! I Looooovvveeee your recipes Gemma!

They look *so good* 🤤 If it weren't for the fact that I work this weekend I totally would have made some. I love English muffins!

I am going to try this right now! They look heavenly! All your recipes do!

Well, now, that's so easy! They do look very tasty Gemma! Thanks for sharing, may have to give this a go. Can I substitute part of the flour for wheat flour?

This is the third video I have watched from her channel today. It's new to me and I'm going crazy because today is the eve of Passover. I'm going to have to suffer for 8 days before I can try these recipes. I love English muffins usually toasted with marmalade. I have never before had fresh English muffins so what are your suggestions?

This video is great. I love that you explain why you do some of the things. That information is both interesting and valuable.

Wow that looks so easy. Gonna try it. The eng muffins look better than store bought

Gorgeous recipe. I can literally get the smell ! I don't have yeast can I use anything else ?

your tutorial is so thoughtful and well done. LOVE IT! Cant wait to make these! brief question I don't like non stick because I've been told it is bad for birds, could I do this on a skillet?

My wife..has made these 3 times now using your recipe...you've made her..and i..addicts..well done..all the best from our kitchen to yours..
