This English Muffin Bread Recipe for the bread machine has turned into a family favorite bread machine recipe. I previously shared this recipe on the blog when I talked about 5 reasons you need a bread machine. But, this bread recipe has turned into such a favorite, that I didn’t want you to miss it, so I’m promoting it to a blog post all its own.
Filled with nooks and crannies that English Muffins are known for, this bread machine recipe is no exception! It doesn’t taste exactly like English Muffins, but it does taste exactly what you’d expect English Muffin Bread to taste like!
You know how English Muffins have that dusting of cornmeal on the outside? Well, this bread machine recipe even allows for that cornmeal coating. Although it takes a little more of your time if you take the time to roll the dough in cornmeal, I think it’s definitely worth it!
Rolling the dough in cornmeal is, however, completely optional. If you’d like your English Muffin Bread to have a dusting of cornmeal, then you’ll want to follow this step. Otherwise, feel free to skip right over this extra step. I found this original recipe on King Arthur Flour’s website and originally shared it on The Birch Cottage blog here.

- ½ tspn baking powder
- 3½ cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
