English Muffins Bread Machine/Nuwave/Flavorwave Oven

These are light and airy just like their counter parts. When cooked in the Nuwave/Flavorwave ovens, muffins will be "puffy". I make these every week and freeze them. They are wonderful! This is a converted recipe from Dustbunni, and a recipe she found on the internet. This is what she had to say about them: When I landed on this recipe while surfing the web, I had to try it. I'm so glad it did. They are delicious. Tip I: The dough should be soft but not sticky. It took me two attempts to get that just right. Tip II: I posted the recipe as written. After, several batches, I don't press the dough into a rectangle anymore. I divide it into eight equal pieces and pat each piece into a 1/2" thick round. Then, turn each round in dish of cornmeal. . There are a lot of really good reviews on this one. I converted it to be used in the Nuwave/Flavorwave Ovens. Enjoy!

• Ready In: 3 hrs 8 mins
• Serves: 10-12

Ingredients

• 1  cup milk
• 3  tablespoons butter
• 1  egg
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2  teaspoons sugar
• 3  cups all-purpose flour (or more)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dry yeast
• 1⁄4 cup cornmeal, to dust on bottom of muffins

Directions

1. Start the dough cycle.
2. When the cycle is finished.
3. Sprinkle corn meal over your work area.
4. Use your hands to pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick.
5. Turn the dough so that each side gets lightly coated with cornmeal.
6. Cut into 8 to 10 rounds.
7. An empty large tuna can works well When you run out of dough gather up the trimmings and cut more rounds. (I use a large mouth glass).
8. Place the rounds on a baking sheet, cover and let rise for 20- 30 minutes--until not quite double.
9. (Nuwave/Flavorwave Directions) - Once dough as risen, place in Nuwave/Flavorwave in round pan. Set the timer for 8 min on * 8 for temp or 80 % heat *. For theses you do no want to use hi heat, as they will brown to fast and will burn.
10. Note: they will come out "puffy". I have left in traditional cooking if you want them "flatter". Either way they come out wonderful!
11. Normal cooking directions: in frying pan, or on low flame. Cook on Medium heat for 7 minutes on each side. This will give the flat look for the English muffins.
12. Heat a dry cast iron skillet or griddle over a low flame.
13. (I do spray mine with Pam).
14. Cook the muffins about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
15. They should be golden brown when you turn them.
16. Split the muffins with a fork or serrated knife and serve warm.
17. These freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave or toasted.
18. Note: these will be "puffy" if made in the nuwave/flavorwave ovens. If you like the traditional ones, I have left the conventional cooking as well.
