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:

1. Mix the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk, then let it rise for 5-10 minutes.
2. Add the flour, salt, and melted butter, then knead into a soft dough. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.
3. After rising, roll out the dough and cut out circles with a glass.
4. 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:

1. Preheat the oven to high temperature (grill mode).
2. Arrange tomato slices, chopped olives, and grated mozzarella on each half of the muffin, then season with oregano.
3. Place them in the oven and bake for about 2 minutes, until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
4. Serve warm and enjoy this light but irresistible combination of flavors.

Plus tip:

If you want an even tastier muffin, let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it. You can store the muffins in an airtight container and reheat them whenever you want a quick and tasty meal.

With a homemade English muffin, your mini muffin pizza will taste even better. Whether you make it for yourself or your loved ones, this recipe will allow you to enjoy a healthy and delicious meal anytime.
