BBA#12 English Muffins

This is th 12th BBA recipe ,English Muffins.I don't know anyone who doesn't like a toasted English muffin oozing with melted butter and or jam.I was really excited to do this one,as it's a bread I have not tried before,although I do have recipes for it.
 This was a simple direct method dough,assemble,mix,hydrate,knead,proof,shape ,proof,cook,easy.That's how all recipes are intended,but there is always 'that factor',of individual interpretations of instructions.I know,been there,as well as others,yet we all wind up making great bread!
So here I go;

 flour,salt,sugar,yeast, blended,added  6 oz +1 tsp butter milk ,over poured a bit,mixed till dough came together,still a bit sticky

Out of bowl,ready to knead by hand

Begining of knead dough was sticky,added scant dustings of flour to my hands,and kneaded,flouring my hands as required by dough feel

 After 10 minutes of kneading dough is tacky,no longer sticky,temp was 77,passed window pane test,though I forgot to photo it

Placed in oil sprayed bowl, covered let rise

90 minutes later,doubled and a little yeast bubble poking it's head on top

 Measured off  6, 3 oz pieces and shaped into boules

Placed on oil sprayed parchment sprinkled with corn meal,  lightly oil sprayed tops and covered with plastic ( I used a  market greens size bag,unused of course,cut open,large and priced right)

90 minutes later , little boules ready to griddle

Carefully (as possible) lifted them with my flat metal spatula to the 350 degree preheated  griddle surface.Cooked 8 minutes first side.

Gently using spatula turned them over,you can see where my helping fingers made indentations in them.Cooked 8 minutes on this side also

Here I placed them on a baking sheet that was preheating in the oven till 350 degrees.I didn't want to place them on a cold sheet and then lose the heat in them already.Baked 8 minutes in oven at 350.

Cooled and fork split created lots of nooks and crannies  





Toasted  and buttered one,wife said it's better than Thomas' Wow!
