How to Make Mom's English Muffin Bread

  1. Warm 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan until lukewarm (around 105-115°F). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
  2. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cornmeal inside the prepared loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Beat the batter well with a wooden spoon or electric mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  6. Gradually stir in the remaining 1 cup of all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, until a stiff batter forms. The dough will be sticky.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size.
  9. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Remove the bread from the pan immediately and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
  12. Slice and toast for the best results! Enjoy with your favorite spreads.
