No Knead English Muffin Bread that requires only one rise and no kneading. It yields a versatile bread suitable for breakfast sandwiches and other uses.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 20 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups warm milk (room temperature)
  • ½ cup warm water (room temperature)
  • Cornmeal (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix half of the flour with the yeast, sugar, salt, warm milk, and warm water. Let it sit for a few minutes to activate the yeast.
  2. Add in the rest of the flour and mix until just combined. Mix by hand or with a stand mixer with a dough hook. Avoid over mixing to retain nooks and crannies.
  3. Grease 2 loaf pans with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Sprinkle cornmeal in the bottom of each pan.
  4. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle more cornmeal on top of the batter.
  5. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
  6. Bake at 375ºF for 35 to 40 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly in pans.
  8. Once semi-cooled, remove the loaves from pans and place on their sides on a cooling rack to finish cooling.
  9. Store bread wrapped in plastic wrap or bread bag on the counter to avoid drying out, or freeze in freezer bags for longer storage.
