Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tb Dry yeast
3 c Warm water
2 tb Sugar
1 t Salt
1/2 c Dry milk
8 c Flour, divided
6 tb Vegetable oil

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water. Add
the sugar, salt and dry milk and bland. Add half the
flour and whisk for 1 minute. Set the mixture aside
for 1 hour, or until the sponge falls back on itself.
Beat in the oil. Add the remaining flour and mix well.
Add extra flour if necessary to make a fairly stiff
dough.

With floured hands cut out about 20 four-ounce pieces
of dough and form them into 3-inch patties. Place the
patties on a greased cookie sheet and let rise about
half and hour, or until they are doubled in bulk.

Preheat griddle to 325 to 350 F and cook approximately
7 minutes per side.

For Cinnamon-Raisin English Muffins: Add 1 tbs.
cinnamon and 1 cup raisins with the remaining flour.

For whole wheat English muffins: Substitute "crunchy
whole wheat flour mix" for white flour:

: 2 cups whole wheat flour
: 2 cups cracked wheat flour
: 4 cups unbleached white flour
