Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Directions
Step 1
In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and salt.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe measuring cup, heat the milk, water, and butter together until warm but not hot (about 120-130°F / 49-54°C). Stir to melt the butter completely.
Step 3
Gradually pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined into a smooth, wet batter.
Step 4
Add the remaining flour, half a cup at a time, and mix until a thick dough forms. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Step 5
Grease a large microwaveable loaf pan (or glass dish) and sprinkle the bottom and sides with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a damp clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Step 7
Microwave the risen dough on high power for 6 minutes total. Stop the microwave halfway through (at 3 minutes) to rotate the pan if necessary for even cooking.
Step 8
Carefully remove the bread from the microwave and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve as is, or toast slices to bring out that classic English muffin texture and flavor.
