Description

Multigrain English Muffins are a wholesome and tasty twist on the classic breakfast favorite. Packed with a variety of grains and seeds, these muffins offer a nutty flavor and a satisfying texture, perfect for toasting and topping with butter, jam, or your favorite spreads.


Ingredients

  1. 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
    2 teaspoons active dry yeast
    1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
    1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    1 cup bread flour
    1/2 cup rolled oats
    2 tablespoons flaxseeds
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
    Cornmeal for dusting

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and honey. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, bread flour, oats, flaxseeds, and salt.
  2. Combine and Knead: Add dry ingredients and melted butter or oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. First Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  4. Shape Muffins: Roll out dough to about 1/2 inch thickness on a floured surface. Use a round cutter (about 3-4 inches) to cut out muffins. Place on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
  5. Second Rise: Cover and let muffins rise for 30-45 minutes until slightly puffy.
  6. Cook Muffins: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Cook muffins for about 7-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let muffins cool on a wire rack before splitting and toasting.

Notes

  1. Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on muffins before cooking for added texture.
  2. Add cinnamon or dried fruit to the dough for a sweet variation.
  3. Use gluten-free flours and adjust liquids for gluten-free option.
  4. Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist.
  5. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  6. Freeze muffins in zip-top bags for up to 3 months.
  7. Toast muffins directly from frozen or room temperature.
