How To Make english muffin toasting bread

• 1

  Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and instant yeast in a large mixing bowl.
• 2

  Combine the milk, water, and oil in a separate, microwave-safe bowl, and heat to between 100°F and 120°F. Be sure to stir the liquid well before measuring its temperature; you want an accurate reading. If you don't have a thermometer, the liquid will feel quite hot (hotter than lukewarm), but not so hot that it would be uncomfortable to the touch.
• 3

  Pour the hot liquid over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.
• 4

  Beat at high speed for 1 minute. The dough will be very soft.
• 5

  Lightly grease an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan, and sprinkle the bottom and sides with cornmeal.
• 6

  Scoop the soft dough into the pan, leveling it in the pan as much as possible.
• 7

  Cover the pan, and let the dough rise till it's just barely crowned over the rim of the pan. About 45 minutes to an hour.
• 8

  Preheat the oven to 400°F while dough is rising.
• 9

  Remove the cover from the risen dough, and bake the bread for 22 to 27 minutes, till it's golden brown.
• 10

  Remove the bread from the oven, and after 5 minutes turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
