I just made this recipe this morning and allowed it to rise about two hours. It was absolutely the best English muffin ever. Just can't compare with store bought. I used a large cast iron pan over very low heat. I also cut the parchment paper into pieces so that I rested each muffin individually in its piece of paper. That made it extra easy to carry each muffin to the pan without disturbing them and placing them onto the pan while removing the piece of parchment paper from the top.

I fried them paper side down for a minute and then flipped them over, That made it very easy to remove the paper without changing the shape of the muffins.

I was going to leave the dough in the frig until the next morning but 4 days later........They turned into sourdough! Cooked on my cast iron pancake pan and I made English Muffins for the first time. The texture, the flavor was amazing. Thanks John!

Quick update. These turned out superb. The look like the ones from the store, but taste far superior. We gobbled them up with butter...because no one wanted to wait for the bacon and eggs that were suppose to go inside them! I have a couple I will serve for breakkie! Thanks so much for such an amazing approachable recipe!

I can't wait to try this. One difference that I've learned from baking bread with high-hydration dough is to keep the 3" ring and your hands wet with cold water rather than adding more flour. Even the slackest dough releases immediately, and you haven't added any extra flour to reduce the hydration of the finished product (and therefore reduce the hole size). I'm looking forward to home-cooked English muffins over the weekend.

Your commitment to perfection shows in this recipe. I followed it with one exception, I replaced 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat flour. So light and fluffy, perfectly crisp on outside, lots of nooks and cranies. Wonderful flavor. Easy to follow recipe. Thank you!

I made these for my mom’s birthday as eggs Benedict. The poached eggs weren’t perfect and the hollandaise was runny but these muffins were absolutely perfect! Thank you John!

I feel like I’m learning to take my cooking to a whole other level with your recipes. Made this today and and was a hit! Soft delicious and my entire family enjoyed it. Thank you !

I just revisited this video with my 4 year old son, as we made english muffins together. Seeing your dough art and hearing your wonderful explanations really gets us both in the mood! What can I say?! What an absolute riot this must be for your former students. I can't imagine having a teacher that I adored... and following their baking creations on YT. LOVE IT.

I've made these 2x in the last week or so. They are SO easy and great for breakfast sandwich meal prep! I've always found the store-bought ones...bland. These are great and hubby likes them too! Thank you!

He's right ... these are far superior to store bought. I have never eaten a muffin without jam, butter, or making it into a breakfast sandwich. Well, couldn't resist eating my scrap muffin without butter. Yummy! Made two dozen. Gonna make his Brioche Buns as soon as my eggs and butter come to room temp. Thank you for inviting us to your Preppy Kitchen!

I've had lots of English muffins but in 66 yrs I've never, ever had a freshly baked one. My mouth is watering & I have this very strong craving to bite into one right now so I am going to try your recipe tomoro! Thanks so much!

I thought I didnt like english muffins but after making and tasting this recipe I now crave them. These were so good! I cant believe the difference between fresh homemade ones and store bought, it's like night and day. It was also super easy to do by hand and minimal effort and clean up. This is going to be a weekend staple for my household!

Best English muffin recipe I’ve tried. Followed the recipe to the tea and they were moist and delicious. No more store-bought for me.

I do so admire your humility.

Thank you, Preppy Kitchen. Your recipe seems to be THE one I've been looking for, with nooks and crannies inside. I've done a lot of research, tried a hundred different ways, but never achieved the quality of the Thomas's English Muffins or the McDonald's English muffin. Now, I'll try it your way. God bless you!

Just came across this recipe. My daughter has a severe sunflower allergy. We love English muffins, however, all the store bought ones have as one of the ingredients "vegetable oil", which more often than not includes sunflower oil. This recipe is absolutely amazing. Much better than store bought, easy to make, and she can eat them. Thank you!! Best English muffins ever!!

I’ve just finished following this recipe and the outcome was a success! Was a bit concerned at first as the dough was very sticky but added a touch of flour as I laid it out to cut. Trust the process as you’ll end up with soft fluffy English muffins ❤

This recipe really is the best English muffin recipe! I've made them several times, and they come out perfect!

You aren't kidding they are the best ever! And, fun to make. Thank you!!!

Greetings from Athens Greece!! love your channel and so happy to watch you ,and appreciate your time to show all of us your great recipes!! Thank you ❤️

I've made these before. I love making yeast breads. My favorite is jalapeno cheese bread. That is also my family's favorite. When I start my yeast I sometimes make a 'slurry'. It was a technique I picked up from a baker. She would mix equal parts of warm water to flour and then add her yeast. After abput 20 minutes she would have a bubbly bowl of flour mix. Usually when I make bread I just add all the ingredients together. I have never had inactive yeast. I buy yeast a pound at a time and keep it in the freezer. Great video though.

I just made this and it's definitely a winner -- the results were delicious and just as described. My family enjoyed these with plain butter, not toasted, and we loved them. I let the dough retard overnight in the refrigerator, and the results were marvelous. The only flavor element I'll adjust next time is a matter of personal taste -- we'll increase the salt to 1 1/2 tsp or even 2 tsp. Here are a few notes from my first time working through this: 1. My biggest challenge was getting the muffins to release from the parchment paper just before cooking. The dough is REALLY slack and sticky, and mine stuck to the parchment paper like glue. Next time, I'm going to use lots more corn meal on the parchment paper before transferring the dough. The ones I had the easiest time with had lots of cornmeal under them 2. Use lots of flour on the work surface when initially spreading out the dough for cutting. I didn't use enough, and I think that contributed to my challenges getting the muffins to release from the parchment paper -- I think more flour before cutting would make the disks dryer on the bottom and therefore less likely to stick. 3. Go slow on the oil used in the bowl for the first rise and retard. I put in too much, and my resulting dough had more oil than was optimal. This contributed to the overall stickiness. 4. Use a BIG bowl when retarding overnight in the refrigerator. My dough got at least four times larger, maybe more. I was afraid it had over-risen, but it was fine. Still, be sure to choose a bowl with lots of room. If you have a cover (rather than plastic wrap), then oil the bottom side of the cover just in case. 5. As I expected, I had good results from keeping a smallish bowl of cold water at my prep and cooking stations. I dipped my fingers in cold water before handling the dough, I dipped the cutter in cold water before using it, and I kept the spatula blade in cold water before using it to transfer the muffins. Aside from the handling, the cooking was exactly as described in the video. I used a 12" cast iron skillet with lots of cornmeal on the bottom, and we have an electric stove with a flat glass cooktop. I put the burner on "3" and let the skillet warm while the muffins did their final 30 minute rise. I did four at a time, covered as per the video. Mine were perfectly cooked at the 5 minute mark on each side. I empty the skillet and replace the cornmeal after each batch. I used a "fish flipper" spatula during cooking with excellent results. I got 11 muffins -- next time I'll make the dough a little thinner before cutting. It looks to me as though this recipe will make a dozen perfect English Muffins.

I’ve always wanted to make these, thanks for sharing!

These were magnificent. The flavor was perfect and tasted so much better than any store bought version.

Works perfectly! Thank you! :) First my dough has risen huuuge but came out too runny. Added a tad more flour and sent it to rest again for 2 hours. Luckily it has risen again. And, the first batch I cooked in a simple non-stick pan, and the second in cast iron skillet. Cast iron makes a huuuge difference indeed! 🙏🏼

Working with the dough after turning it out was VERY difficult. I'd suggest dusting the top of the dough, which becomes the bottom once turned out from the bowel, with generous amounts of flour and corn meal. Very sticky dough.

Thank you for the heads up. I did what you suggested and it made a huge difference. I have a proof setting on my oven and so this dough rose a huge amount and stuck to the shower cap cover I used. Next time I will oil it. I used a nearly 4 inch cutter so I only got 7 muffins… but that’s ok they will make good sandwiches. I did the math and this dough is 90% hydration. Other recipes are 50-60. But I bet they will be very good!
