Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a separate bowl, dissolve the dry yeast and sugar in warm milk until it froths. Once frothy, mix in the melted butter until well combined.
-
Combine Ingredients: Stir the yeast mixture into the warm flour mixture, and beat well until the dough becomes smooth and elastic in texture.
-
Proof the Dough: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough proof in a warm place for about 50 minutes, or until it has doubled in bulk.
-
Knead the Dough: Turn the proofed dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it gently, adding a little more flour if necessary to make the dough easier to handle.
-
Shape the Muffins: Roll the dough into a thick sausage shape and slice it into 8 to 10 portions, each about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches thick. Shape each portion into a round with straight sides.
-
Proof Again: Place the shaped muffins onto a greased baking sheet, cover them with greased plastic wrap, and let them proof in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until they are springy to the touch.
-
Cook on Bakestone: Warm and lightly grease a bakestone. Carefully lift the proofed muffins onto the bakestone and cook them over very moderate heat (about 350ยฐF or 180ยฐC) for 8-10 minutes, until they are pale gold underneath. Then, turn them over and cook the other side.
-
Keep Warm: Once cooked, wrap the muffins in a clean cloth to keep them warm if you’re cooking them in batches.
-
Serve and Enjoy: To serve, insert a knife into the side of each muffin, pull the top and bottom slightly apart, and insert slivers of butter. Alternatively, spread some apple butter for a delightful twist. Enjoy your homemade English Muffins!
