English Muffins Bread Machine/Nuwave/Flavorwave Oven

Description: These are light and airy just like their counter parts. When cooked in the Nuwave/Flavorwave ovens, muffins will be "puffy". I make these every week and freeze them. They are wonderful! This is a converted recipe from Dustbunni, and a recipe she found on the internet. This is what she had to say about them: When I landed on this recipe while surfing the web, I had to try it. I'm so glad it did. They are delicious. Tip I: The dough should be soft but not sticky. It took me two attempts to get that just right. Tip II: I posted the recipe as written. After, several batches, I don't press the dough into a rectangle anymore. I divide it into eight equal pieces and pat each piece into a 1/2" thick round. Then, turn each round in dish of cornmeal. . There are a lot of really good reviews on this one. I converted it to be used in the Nuwave/Flavorwave Ovens. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour (or more)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
• 1/4 cup cornmeal, to dust on bottom of muffins

Steps:

1. Start the dough cycle.
2. When the cycle is finished.
3. Sprinkle corn meal over your work area.
4. Use your hands to pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick.
5. Turn the dough so that each side gets lightly coated with cornmeal.
6. Cut into 8 to 10 rounds.
7. An empty large tuna can works well When you run out of dough gather up the trimmings and cut more rounds. (I use a large mouth glass).
8. Place the rounds on a baking sheet, cover and let rise for 20- 30 minutes--until not quite double.
9. (Nuwave/Flavorwave Directions) - Once dough as risen, place in Nuwave/Flavorwave in round pan. Set the timer for 8 min on * 8 for temp or 80 % heat *. For theses you do no want to use hi heat, as they will brown to fast and will burn.
10. Note: they will come out "puffy". I have left in traditional cooking if you want them "flatter". Either way they come out wonderful!
11. Normal cooking directions: in frying pan, or on low flame. Cook on Medium heat for 7 minutes on each side. This will give the flat look for the English muffins.
12. Heat a dry cast iron skillet or griddle over a low flame.
13. (I do spray mine with Pam).
14. Cook the muffins about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
15. They should be golden brown when you turn them.
16. Split the muffins with a fork or serrated knife and serve warm.
17. These freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave or toasted.
18. Note: these will be "puffy" if made in the nuwave/flavorwave ovens. If you like the traditional ones, I have left the conventional cooking as well.
