My mom got this English muffin bread recipe from her friend Jane. I believe the recipe was originally on a package of Fleischmann’s yeast, probably 30 years ago. I always make this bread in my favorite loaf pan.

My family loves this English muffin bread. It is amazing, especially toasted, with a little bit of butter. The best part is it is super easy to make and there is no kneading involved. It freezes wonderfully too. It is great for a quick breakfast, a snack, or to serve along with your favorite soup, like my Cheeseburger Soup. One loaf probably only last about a day and a half in our house.

I try to have one in the freezer at all times, either for us, to bring to a sick friend, or in case I have a last minute bake sale that I forgot about. This is, honestly, one of the only things I want to eat when I don’t feel well.

Description

This is the best English muffin bread.  In my opinion, it is best toasted with a little butter.  It is perfect in my Eggs on Avocado Toast recipe.
