Scallion Cheddar English Muffins
Made with only 7 ingredients, these make the best sandwiches!
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2¼ tsp dry active yeast
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3½ cups flour all purpose
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1 bundle of scallion onions finely chopped
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- cornmeal for pan frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water, 2¼ tsp yeast & 1 tbsp honey; Let stand for about 5 mins until foamy
- While your yeast is proofing, shred the cheddar cheese and chop the scallion onions
- Add 3½ cups flour, 1½ tsp salt, scallions and cheddar cheese to the large bowl with your proofed yeast, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer dough onto a floured surface and work with your hands to form a dough ball, adding more flour as needed if too sticky. Transfer dough to the same large mixing bowl, lightly oiled. Cover with plastic wrap & let sit on counter for about 1 hr, until double in size.
- Divide dough into 8 equal pieces and roll into a ball. Arrange dough pieces on a lined baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap to let rise another 30 mins while your oven preheats.
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Place a lightly greased cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Dip each side of the dough ball into a bowl of corn meal before pan frying for 1-2 minutes each side, until a golden brown crust forms. Reduce heat to medium low if they are cooking too quickly.
- Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked all the way through. Allow to cool some before slicing and serving.
Notes
