<b> What you need to make this recipe</b>
<b>1. Flour:</b> All-purpose flour works perfectly for this recipe; there's no need to use bread flour.
<b>2. Butter:</b> Melted butter adds flavor.
<b>3. Yeast:</b> You can use either active dry or instant yeast for this recipe. Activate it in warm milk and water before using.
<b>4. Milk:</b> Whole milk provides excellent flavor and keeps the muffins moist, but you can use low-fat milk or dairy-free alternatives.
<b>5. Sugar:</b> Adds flavor and activates the yeast. Avoid using brown sugar as it alters the taste.

<b>How to make English muffins</b>
1. Combine yeast with warmed milk, water, and sugar.
2. After it foams (about 6-7 minutes), add the egg and melted butter.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour and salt, then add the milk and yeast mixture.
4. Mix until the dough becomes elastic and smooth. Transfer it to a large oiled bowl, cover it, and let it double in size.
5. Pat out the dough on a floured surface until it's just under 1 inch thick.
6. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out the English Muffins.
7. Arrange them spaced apart on a baking sheet sprinkled with semolina. Cover and let them proof for another 30 minutes or so.
8. When ready, cook the muffins on a hot skillet for 5-6 minutes on each side.
