English Muffin Loaves recipe

2 servings

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

6 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon white sugar

2 cups milk

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons cornmeal

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and water until very warm.

Combine 3 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and soda in a large bowl.

Add the warm milk and water, and beat well.

Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff batter.

Spoon into two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans that have been greased and dusted with the cornmeal.

Cover, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.

Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 25 minutes.

Remove from pans immediately, and let cool.
