This No-Knead English Muffin Bread recipe delivers a delightfully soft and porous loaf that perfectly mimics the texture of traditional English muffins. Made without kneading, this easy-to-make bread uses simple ingredients and minimal hands-on time, making it a perfect choice for home bakers seeking that classic English muffin taste and crumb with less effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Yeast Mixture

  • 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup warm water

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Mixing the Dough: Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or mix by hand using a dough whisk. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and a sticky, wet dough forms.
  2. Shaping and Rising: Pour or scoop the sticky dough into a large greased hearth loaf pan, or divide between two standard loaf pans. Leave the dough uncovered and place in a warm spot to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour, allowing it to nearly double in size.
  3. Baking the Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the risen dough for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Once baked, remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Slicing and Serving: When the bread is fully cooled, slice it evenly with a bread slicer for uniform pieces. Toast the slices as desired to enjoy the characteristic texture and flavor of English muffins.

Notes

  • Use warm water and milk (about 100-110°F) to activate the yeast effectively without killing it.
  • The dough will be quite sticky and wet, which is normal for no-knead breads; avoid adding extra flour.
  • If you don’t have a stand mixer, mixing by hand with a sturdy whisk or spoon works well.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean slices and proper texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
