Whole Wheat English Muffins


The weather forecast is for it to "feel like" 40C today, so there will be no baking going on in this house! But maybe where you are ... ? 



1½ c warm water
2/3 c plain yogurt
½ c milk powder
1 or 2 tb honey
3 tb veg oil
1 tsp salt
1 tb yeast
5 or 6 c whole wheat flour
cornmeal

Combine first 7 ingredients and let rest 5 mins.
Beat in flour slowly until dough is soft and  kneadable. 
Knead 5 minutes and let rise, covered in a warm place, for one hour. 
Punch down and pat out to a half-inch thickness on floured surface. 
Cut into 3- to 4-inch rounds using a tuna can or a glass.
Place muffins on cookie sheets liberally sprinkled with cornmeal. 
Sprinkle muffin tops with cornmeal and place another cookie sheet on top of the muffins, so it rests directly on them.

Let rise ½ hour and bake at 375F about 45 minutes.
