English Muffin Toasting Bread

Hands-on: 8 to 12 min | Bake: 22 to 27 min | Yield: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
  • Cornmeal, to sprinkle in pan

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and instant yeast in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Combine the milk, water, and oil in a separate, microwave-safe bowl, and heat to between 120 degrees F and 130 degrees F. Be sure to stir the liquid well before measuring its temperature; you want an accurate reading. If you don't have a thermometer, the liquid will feel quite hot (hotter than lukewarm), but not so hot that it would be uncomfortable as bath water.
  3. Pour the hot liquid over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.
  4. Beat at high speed for 1 minute. The dough will be very soft.
  5. Lightly grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan, and sprinkle the bottom and sides with cornmeal.
  6. Scoop the soft dough into the pan, leveling it in the pan as much as possible.
  7. Cover the pan, and let the dough rise until it's just barely crowned over the rim of the pan. When you look at the rim of the pan from eye level, you should see the dough, but it shouldn't be more than, say, 1/4 inch over the rim. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, if you heated the liquid to the correct temperature and your kitchen isn't very cold.
  8. While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  9. Remove the cover, and bake the bread for 22 to 27 minutes, until it's golden brown and its interior temperature is 190 degrees F.
  10. Remove the bread from the oven, and after 5 minutes turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool.
  11. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
