In no way did I come up with this recipe myself. I googled recipes for Whole Wheat English muffins. Something I have noticed about myself is that I like to have options. I don't have just one mac and cheese recipe, I have several. I don't have one set of measuring cups and spoons, I have three of each. As I peruse the clearance pages of websites like Anchor Hocking and Sur la Table, I am slowly but surely adding to my collection of dish towels, measuring cups, glass dishes, and so on...so, in the same fashion, I printed out two versions of whole wheat english muffins. For my first attempt I chose the simpler, quicker recipe. In this one, the dough doesn't rise for an hour.
I would much rather post the pictures of what I did. I will include the link to the recipe. There isn't anything particular creative that I added or did to this recipe. I just feel really proud that I made it. Thanks Savory Simple!

This was a blend of 50/50 whole wheat flour and all purpose flour. I am sure the taste will lean toward whole wheat, it tends to dominate. The all purpose flour will just soften it a bit. |
This was my lightly floured board. I actually found that I had to add quite a bit of extra flour as needed because the dough would stick. |
Rolled out to an inch thick! |
There's my pretty... |
After cutting the muffins out of the dough, they rest on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet. Who knew that this is how they got their cornmeal-y crust! Ahhhh!!! Amazing! |
The little guys left to rise for 20 minutes. |
They have risen...lol |
Cooked on medium-low instead of low heat for 5 minutes each side til golden brown and crispy. This was the second batch, these look like the real thing! |
On a side note, for dinner I did make a soup I'd like to share the recipe for. I made a soup similar to this ages ago, but could not find my copy of the recipe. It was by Rocco DiSpirito and I think it was called Shrimp and Red Pepper Soup or something, but for the life of me I couldn't find it, even when I tried googling and searching on Food Network. So this is my version:
Shrimp and Zucchini Tomato Soup. Yum! |
