Ingredients

  • 4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup wheat germ
  • 1/2 cup quick rolled oats
  • 1 cup nonfat dry milk solids
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons table salt
  • 2 cups warm water (120-130°F)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal

Instructions

  • In stand mixer bowl, add 2 cups all-purpose flour, yeast, whole wheat flour, wheat germ oats, dry milk, sugar and salt; mix well. Add warm water and oil to flour mixture. Using a paddle attachment, blend on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  • Switch to dough hook attachment. Gradually stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to make a firm dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 8 minutes.
    (NOTE: For hand mixing: following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic.)
  • Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after poking dough with finger down to second knuckle, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough. On surface sprinkled with cornmeal, roll dough to ½-inch thickness. With biscuit or cookie cutter, cut into 3-inch circles. Place muffins on ungreased cookie sheets. Cover; let rise until double, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake on lightly oiled electric griddle or fry pan at 325°F for about 8 minutes on each side until deep golden brown. Cool on wire rack. To serve, split and toast.

I purchased the Platinum Instant Sourdough Yeast + Sourdough Culture packets. How do I use this in the english muffin recipe ??

Hi Jackie – Use the entire packet in place of the yeast called for in this recipe. More information on Platinum Instant Sourdough can be found here.
Happy baking!

I don’t understand the griddle or frypan instructions. Do you mean that these don’t go in the oven? Is a “frypan” the same thing as a skillet?

Red Star Yeast | Reply

Hi Laura – Yes, fry pan and skillet are the same. The English Muffins are baked on top of the stove using the skillet, or on an electric griddle.
Happy baking!

The recipe states to use an electric griddle or fry pan set at 325 to prepare the English muffins. What should I use if I don’t have an electric griddle or fry pan to keep a constant temperature besides the oven? Or can I use my stove and just watch them carefully? Thank you.

Hi Kathleen – You can use your stove top and keep an eye on them as they cook.
Happy baking!

From the instructions, it reads the cornmeal is sprinkled on the dough. Surely you mean the cornmeal is sprinkled on a flat surface THEN pour the dough onto the cornmeal, etc.

Hi Katie from Kansas – the cornmeal is sprinkled on a clean surface, then the dough is placed on top and rolled out to 1/2-inch thickness.
Happy baking!
