How to Make English Muffin Loaves

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour two 8.5x4.5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
  7. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  8. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into a loaf and place it in a prepared loaf pan.
  9. Cover the loaves loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  11. Remove from oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
