In reply to Dee. Yes! Active dry yeast and instant yeast can be swapped in recipes with just a few small adjustments.You can usually substitute 1:1 even though instant yeast can be a little more potent than Active Dry. The difference is in activation. Instant can be mixed right into the dry ingredients but Active dry yeast should be activated first in warm water and it may require additional time for your bread to rise. Hope this helps!

Yeast instead of instant? If so, the same amount?

In reply to Jen W. Thank you so much, Jen! Great tip using an eggs Benedict pan. We love making a bunch and just grabbing them from the freezer.

Best English Muffin recipe out there!!! I have an eggs Benedict pan that works perfectly, I preheat pan on low, add dough cover with cookie sheet, flip cover again they turn out perfect!! I would love to upload a pic. Thank you for a great recipe!

Too much time to do,I’ll just eat everyone else’s English muffins. I’ll bring the tea and jam.

Amazing recipe! They turned out very soft, pillowy and scrumptious. I followed another comment and added some water to pan, which helped a lot. Also, I was out of cornmeal so did the recipe without that and it still worked well. Thanks so much!

The use are absolutely delicious! However, I use a 4″ round cutter as the 3″ was way too small.
