Re: Soughdough English muffins.

Hello, friends.

 

 I made some whole grain English muffins yesterday, They taste great however, they were tiny. What size cookie cutter should I use for a Thomas's sized muffin? Additionally any tips on rolling the dough out to the best thickness? Thank you for any help.

 

 Kind regards,

Will F.

I've only tried English muffins once (and I'm English), from the Elizabeth David recipe, and the dough was too loose to really roll. I just patted it out to about 2 cm thick. Cut with 8cm diameter cutter, wetted.

Thanks, Jeremy.

 

 That is about how big I made mine. They were much to small for my liking, and for the toaster. I think I am going to go with,

1 1/2"  / 3.8 CM thick

4 1/2" / 11 CM diameter

additionally I will do better not to burn them.

Sure. I went with what I had as a cutter, and was pleased with that size.

I hope you find them more to your taste next time.
