I have always loved English muffins. There is something just so delicious about them toasted with a bit of butter or even used in a breakfast sandwich. They are just so darn delicious!
A few months ago I made some English muffins for a breakfast sandwich. They tasted okay, but the recipe was not perfect, not even close. So when I wanted to make this breakfast sandwich and wanted to use English muffin I decided to try an English muffin bread.
It was a good choice. This bread is so very easy to make and tastes delicious! Perfect for a breakfast sandwich. I have not given up on homemade English muffins, I will try them again, but for now this bread is a good alternative.
