Instructions

Make the Ube English Muffins - As I said this is optional. Feel free to use your favorite bread.

  • Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and then add in the water and oil.
  • Mix with a dough hook until you get shaggy looking dough. Then mix on low for 10 minutes until it starts to pull away from the bowl.
  • Oil a bowl and shape the dough into a ball and leave to rise in a warm area for and hour or two depending on how hot or cold your house is.
  • Place the flax meal in a bowl. Oil two baking sheets.
  • Punch the dough down and take out of the bowl and transfer to a bench. Kneed for about 2 minutes until nice and soft and cut into 8 equal peices.
  • Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it. Roll the dough in the flax meal and place on one of the oiled baking sheets. Repeat for the rest of the dough keeping 4 pieces per sheet to alow for growth.
  • Oil two pieces of saran wrap big enough to cover each of the baking sheets. Leave to proof for 1 hour.
  • Heat up a cast iron skillet on medium low heat. Once hot add in the butter and one of the english muffins. Cook each side for 4 minutes. Keep an eye on the heat so that you don't burn the bread. If it gets to hot turn down the heat and cook longer. Repeat for each of the english muffins. Set Aside or go buy some. The muffins can be made up to 3 days ahead.
