If you love the crisp edges and nooks and crannies of a good English muffin, you’re going to want to try this English Muffin Bread. Instead of shaping individual muffins, this recipe turns those familiar flavors and textures into an easy loaf that’s sliced, toasted, and ready for butter, jam, or your favorite breakfast topping.

One of the best things about English muffin bread is that you get much of the character of traditional English muffins without having to shape and cook individual rounds. The loaf develops a wonderfully crisp exterior while the inside stays soft and chewy, with plenty of irregular holes that are perfect for catching melted butter.

A 9×5-inch loaf pan is the key piece of equipment for this recipe. Using the right-size pan gives the dough enough room to rise while helping create a loaf that’s easy to slice for toast and sandwiches. It’s also a useful pan to have around for other homemade breads, quick breads, and yeast loaves.

This homemade English muffin bread is particularly good toasted. The heat brings out the crisp texture of the crust while warming the interior, and all those little nooks and crannies give butter and jam plenty of places to settle. Try it for breakfast with eggs, use it for a breakfast sandwich, or simply enjoy a warm slice with your favorite spread.

The recipe is also a nice alternative when you want homemade bread but don’t want to tackle a complicated shaped loaf. Once the dough is mixed and prepared, it goes directly into the loaf pan, making the process considerably simpler than forming individual English muffins.

If you’re a fan of English muffins, homemade bread, or a really good piece of toast, this English Muffin Bread is an easy recipe to add to your baking rotation.
