Ingredients

300 Grams (2 1/2 Cups) All Purpose Flour

2 Grams (1/2 Teaspoon) Baking Soda

8 Grams (2 Teaspoons) Baking Powder

2.5 Grams (1/2 Teaspoon) Salt

0.5 Grams (1/4 Teaspoon) Nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

English Muffin Bread

Check out my new English Muffin Recipe!

For those in a rush, I’m re-posting the basic recipe here on my Tumblr. But if you want the full picture-by-picture instructions, nutritional information, and secrets to success you can go to my website.

Here’s what you’ll need…

Ingredients

361 Grams (3 Cups) All Purpose Flour

9 Grams (1 1/2 Teaspoons) Salt

14 Grams (1 Tablespoon) Sugar

17 Grams (1 Tablespoon) Instant Yeast*

1 Gram(1/4 Teaspoon) Baking Soda

227 Grams (1 Cup) Milk

25 Grams (2 Tablespoons) Vegetable or Olive Oil

57 Grams (1/4 Cup) Water

Additional Equipment

Measuring Cups and Spoons

Microwave Safe Mixing Bowls

Kitchen Thermometer

Electric Beater*

If you don’t have an electric beater, a standing mixer with a beater attachment will work as well. Or if you don’t have that, you could mix by hand, but it will take you a few minutes longer to get your dough to the right consistency.

Instructions

1. Whisk together your flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and yeast together in the bowl of a standing mixer (or a large mixing bowl if you plan to use an electric beater).

2. In a separate, microwave-safe bowl, mix together the water, oil, and milk. Heat the mixture to a temperature between 120 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit. 

3.   Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix on high for about a minute until well incorporated.

4.  Grease your 8 1/2-inch by 4 1/2-inch baking pan and lightly sprinkle the bottom and sides with cornmeal to keep the dough from sticking. Transfer the dough to the pan and smooth the dough as much as you can.

5.   Cover your dough with plastic wrap and let it rise until the dough has crowned the rim of the pan. It will need about 45 minutes to an hour depending on your ambient room temperature.

6. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the cover on your dough and bake for 22 to 27 minutes. Your bread should look golden brown.

7. Let your bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely.

8. Slice and enjoy!

Forgot the Salt? How to Save Your Bread

Want the Full Article? Read Forgot the Salt? on my BreadbytheHour.com site.

If you’ve ever forgotten the salt while baking bread, you know how bland and flat your bread can be. 

Fortunately, if you catch your mistake in time, you can still salvage your bread with these simple tips and tricks. 

How to Save Your Bread

Depending on the bread baking stage, you might be able to salvage your bread.

If Your Bread Hasn't Risen Yet

Did you mix your flour, water, butter, and seasonings together, only to discover you had forgotten your salt? You don't have to start over from scratch.

In this stage of the bread baking process, just dissolve your salt in a little water then pour the water over the dough. Knead the saltwater into the dough, and sprinkle some extra flour to take away any stickiness. Reshape your dough as needed.

If You Haven't Baked Your Bread Yet

If your bread is on its first rise and you realized that you forgot the salt, you can still work this key ingredient into your dough.

When you're ready to punch down your dough for the first time, dissolve your salt in a little water and pour evenly over the dough. Knead the saltwater into the dough, sprinkling extra flour as needed.

Reshape your dough and let it rise for a second time.

If Your Bread Is in the Oven

At this stage in the baking process, you can't do much for the texture and rise of your bread. However, you can still enjoy the results of your hard work.

Once your bread has cooled, feel free to lightly coat the crust with salted butter. The butter will melt into the crust and add a little flavor to your bread.

Or, dip your bread into stew, chili, or soup. The bread will soak in the flavor of your meal. Similarly, you could use your bread in fondues or smear it in flavorful cheeses and dips to enjoy as a side.

Did It Help?

I've used these methods to salvage bread gone wrong multiple times. But I'd love to know if these tips helped you. Feel free to share your experience in the comments or add your own tips for salvaging unsalted bread.

Resep ini beda banget sm KSB yaa.. ngembangnya dahsyat jg ternyata. btw ini karna kmaren ujan jd sebagian aku proofing di oven, eh taunya over karna ditinggal bobo😑 tapi seratnya tetep okeee kan.. dan empukkk bangettt oya khusus buat yang ngulennya pake hand mixer, aku share tips khusus yaa.. . karna jumlah cairannya dikit jd di awal adonannya emang berat banget. sayang2 mixernya jangan dipaksa, jd di awal ulen pake tangan aja dulu sampe kalis. setelah butternya masuk, baru nyalain mixer.. uleni deh sampe kalis elastis. resep ini cepet kok, sampai tahap window pane cuman 20 menitan pake speed minimum. . aku emang pernah ngulen adonan tepung 500gr pake handmixer dan Alhamdulillah mixernya baik2 aja, bisa sampe kalis elastis juga kok hasilnya. tapiiii... sekali lagi, khusus untuk resep ini mixernya jangan dipaksa yaa.. . kalo saran aku bikin adonannya dibagi 2 aja. jadi campuran biangnya pake setengah dulu, dengan bahan2 yg jumlahnya jg setengah. khusus untuk telur, kocok lepas aja trus timbang lalu bagi 2. ntar pas lagi nunggu proofing, baru mulai nyampurin adonan sisanya. lebih repot? iya, dikit.. tp segala sesuatu mmg kudu ada effortnya kan. kalo pengen hasilnya keren skaligus mo ngawet2 mixer yaa kudu begini solusinya. semoga bermanfaat yaaa.. 😃 . #rotiasin #rotiabon #roticoklat #rotimanis #rotiempuk #bread #softbread #rotibiang #breads #bakes #overnightsoftbun #ulendenganhandmixer #breadtips #breadbakingtips #breadbaking
