How do you make an English muffin?
An English muffin is a soft, airy pastry that differs from classic muffins – it is not sweet and is baked in a pan, not in the oven. That is why it has a unique texture, with a crispy crust and a soft interior, which makes it the perfect base for various recipes, like this mini muffin pizza.
Ingredients:
- 300 g of wholemeal flour
- 1 teaspoon dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 180 ml of lukewarm milk
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- A little semolina for sprinkling
Preparation:
- Mix the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk, then let it rise for 5-10 minutes.
- Add the flour, salt, and melted butter, then knead into a soft dough. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.
- After rising, roll out the dough and cut out circles with a glass.
- Heat a non-stick pan and sprinkle it with a little semolina. Bake the muffins on low heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.
How to prepare an English muffin with tomatoes and olives:
- Preheat the oven to high temperature (grill mode).
- Arrange tomato slices, chopped olives, and grated mozzarella on each half of the muffin, then season with oregano.
- Place them in the oven and bake for about 2 minutes, until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
- Serve warm and enjoy this light but irresistible combination of flavors.
