Here’s a simple guide to English muffins — the small, round, and lightly chewy bread often served toasted. 🥯
🥯 What is an English Muffin?
- A yeast-leavened, round, flat bread.
- Usually split horizontally to reveal “nooks and crannies” that trap butter, jam, or other toppings.
- Soft and chewy inside, lightly crisp on the outside when toasted.
🍽️ Common Uses
- Toasted with butter, honey, or jam
- Breakfast sandwiches (with eggs, cheese, bacon, or sausage)
- Base for Eggs Benedict
- Mini pizzas or snacks
