This homemade English muffin bread is my go to bread recipe when I'm in a hurry, it has a crisp crust and dense crumb, a delicious loaf for breakfast or any meal, even better with a cheese and cold cut platter!

English muffin bread has become a staple in my household, especially when in a hurry, because it is faster made than any other bread, 45 minutes proofing time, 25 minutes in the oven and you are done!

The second reason I like to make it is because we love it, as soon as my son and husband notice that I have made it, they take out the cheese and start eating it slice after slice right at the kitchen counter.

If you have leftovers, this bread makes also for great croutons for soups or panzanella salad.

My bread baking pan is a bit larger than a standard one but this bread will come out more risen when baked into a standard 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan.
