How to Make Whole Wheat English Muffins

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon honey. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. 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.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
  7. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and gently flatten into a 4-inch circle.
  8. Place the circles on a lightly oiled baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the muffins sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  11. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with your favorite spreads!
