📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in the warm milk, water, half the yeast, and 2 cups of flour. Whisk until combined.
2
Cover and let stand for 1 to ⏱️ 8 hours to form a sponge. The closer to the ⏱️ 8 hours, the more flavorful it will become. You will see it become bubblier during the process.
3
Next, add it to the stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment and mix on low speed for 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes, until everything starts to move.
4
Then, add in the sugar, the remaining yeast, melted butter, salt, and the remaining 3 cups of flour.

5
Mix on low speed for 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes or just until combined. No need to knead the dough for an extended period of time.
6
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled container. Cover with a lid and proof for ⏱️ 2 hours, or until doubled in size. It’ll be even better if you can triple the size.
7
Remove the lid and fold the dough from the outside to the inside on all corners.
8
Invert the dough on a lightly dusted surface and press down with your hands until it is about ¾” thick.
9
Using a 3” to 3 ¼” ring mold, cut the dough into circular rounds. Place them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper lightly dusted with cornmeal, then flip them over immediately.
10
Cover and let them rest for ⏱️ 30 minutes. They should puff up a bit more.
11
To cook, brush a thin layer of cooking oil onto a griddle or an extra-large cast-iron skillet over low to medium heat, closer to the medium side.
12
Add in as many English muffins as you can without touching each other and cook for ⏱️ 5 minutes per side. They should be browned on each side. While not necessary, feel free to cover them with a lid to help them steam a little more.
13
Cool them on a rack and then repeat the process until they’re all cooked.
