Ingredients
Directions
13 STEPS
1
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, instant yeast, and baking soda.
2
Add tepid water and refined coconut oil to the bowl, and mix until everything starts coming together.
3
On a lightly floured surface, transfer the mixture and knead for 10 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4
If necessary, add a tablespoon of flour when kneading to eliminate stickiness.
5
Once the dough is no longer sticky, let it rest in a lightly oiled bowl covered with cling wrap for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
6
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with cornmeal or flour.
7
After the dough has doubled in size, transfer it to a floured surface and roll it out evenly to about 1-inch thickness.
8
Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out rounds and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
9
Re-roll leftover dough gently and cut out more rounds.
10
Dust the tops of the muffins with extra cornmeal, cover and let them rise until they have almost doubled in size, around 30-40 minutes.
11
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat.
12
Carefully place the English muffins with enough space for easy flipping, and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they have a golden brown color.
13
Remove the cooked muffins and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool down.
