Homemade English muffins are easier to make than you think and are cooked right on the stove-top instead of in the oven.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Organic Grains Farmer’s Farina, uncooked
2 1/2 cups Organic Grains Bread Flour
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 cup warm milk (can use any plant milk, too)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Farina or cornmeal for coating

organic farina 3 pound product packaging

Directions:

  • Combine the Organic Grains Farmer’s Farina, Organic Grains Bread Flour, and salt into a bowl and leave in a warm place. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm (105°F) milk. Let froth, then mix in the olive oil.
  • Stir all the liquid into the warm flour and beat until smooth and elastic.  Cover with plastic wrap or lid (eco-friendly!) and let proof in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Turn onto a well-floured board and knead, working a little more flour if necessary to make the dough easier to shape. Round up the dough, roll into a thick sausage-like shape, and coat generously with the uncooked Organic Grains Farmer’s Farina.
  • Using a sharp, serrated knife (or a long piece of dental floss), slice into 8-10 portions each about 1 1/2″- 1 3/4″ thick. Shape each round to have straight sides.
  • Transfer to a greased baking sheet about 2″ apart. Sprinkle the bottom of the muffins with cornmeal or farina, flip over and sprinkle the top with either cornmeal or Organic Grains Farmer’s Farina. Lightly cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 30-40 minutes.
  • Lift the muffins carefully onto a cast iron or thick-bottomed skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes until pale gold color. Turn over and cook on the other side for the same amount of time*
  • Clean out the pan of any excess cornmeal between each batch of English muffins. To serve, insert a knife in the side, pull the top and the bottom slightly apart, and cut.

*Use a tight-fitting lid to ensure proper baking
