English Muffin Recipe

Mix only three cups of the flour with the yeast, sugar and salt. Warm milk to 100-110 F. Add the flour mixture, and beat with a mixer until smooth, then stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff batter. Cover and let rise till doubled (1 hour). Stir down the risen batter, thoroughly blend in the soda mixture. Divide into two 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 " tins or 1.5 quart souffle dishes. Cover and let redouble again (45 mins). Cook each loaf for about 6 mins 30 seconds on HIGH uncovered, or until no doughy spots remain. Cool before slicing, then toast.
