Here's the formula I have been using:
English Muffins method: muffin method Bread flour 900 g 100.00% Salt 12 g 1.33% Baking soda 2 g 0.22% Water 702 g 78.00% Sugar 16 g 1.78% Instant yeast 12 g 1.33% Milk powder 20 g 2.22% Corn meal (as needed) TOTAL: 1663.92 g 184.88% But, it is too firm a dough. I'm think I might need more of a batter consistency and pour them into molds on the stove, rather than form them into muffins. Should I simply increase the water? The formula produced the correct taste but the air bubbles in the crumb were too small to look like Thomas' English Muffins. I'm thinking the batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter. What the above formula produces is a very sticky dough that loses its shape when transfering it from the proofing bench to the griddle. With a thinner dough (batter), the holes have a chance to form on the stove. BUT I DON'T WANT TO MESS UP ALL THE OTHER RATIOS. Will simply adding a little water as needed do the trick or will it totally change the amount of other ingredients needed? By the way, I think a little spray oil in the mold will help release the muffins from the mold but I place the corn meal on the griddle before pouring the batter into the mold. |
