English muffin bread is the loaf version of round English muffins. Both versions use the same ingredients, but English muffin bread is baked in a loaf pan and English muffins are cooked on a griddle. English muffin bread is sliced like regular yeast bread, but has the same "nooks and crannies" texture of English muffins.

The crater-like texture of English muffins and English muffin bread is created by baking soda added to the batter. The batter is not kneaded like regular yeast bread, so it is faster to prepare. Besides baking soda, yeast, salt, flour, water and milk form the rest of the batter. Some people like to use buttermilk rather than regular milk. Cornmeal coats the outsides of English muffin bread, just as it does on English muffins.

English muffin bread is sliced and eaten with the same toppings you would put on English muffins. Butter and/or toppings such as jam or cheese are delicious on toasted slices of English muffin bread. Both English muffins and English muffin bread are great for spreading with tomato sauce and adding cheese and leftovers and baking in the oven for a few minutes. These "pizzas" make excellent snacks or can be served as a light lunch alongside a salad.

English muffin bread can be baked in both conventional ovens and bread machines. There are also microwave versions of English muffin bread. Bread machine recipes often use powdered milk. English muffin bread is probably more convenient for many people to make as you only need a standard oven and a loaf pan rather than English muffin rings and a griddle.

Some people like to serve English muffin bread with fried eggs as sort of a food sponge. The sponge-like texture of the bread makes it ideal for getting the last drops of egg yolk. Similarly, you could use slices of English muffin bread as the base for a ground beef sauce, or Sloppy Joes. The delicious possibilities for English muffin bread are limited only by your imagination! your imagination!
