How to Make English Muffin Casserole Bread

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Add the warm water mixture to the dry ingredients in the bowl.
  4. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer for 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  5. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
  6. Gradually stir in enough of the remaining 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a ball.
  8. Place the dough in a lightly greased large bowl, turning once to grease the surface.
  9. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  10. Gently punch down the dough.
  11. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  12. Grease a 1-quart casserole dish and sprinkle it with 2 tablespoons cornmeal.
  13. Place the dough in the prepared casserole dish.
  14. Sprinkle the top of the dough with 1 tablespoon cornmeal.
  15. Cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size (about 30-45 minutes).
  16. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
  17. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil.
  18. Remove from the casserole dish and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
