English muffin bread makes the best white toast you’ll ever make. It’s simple to make and freezes well too.
English muffin bread
Apart from the fact that this bread was so good it doesn’t need any fancy styling, there is a reason for its severe lack of styling.
The first time I made this was years ago when I was pregnant with our first.
It was a random Friday morning and I woke up feeling quite off. I decided to ditch my walk. I felt like I really needed to eat something and fast.
The thought of my regular smoothie turned my stomach. Immediately my brain went to vegemite toast (wow has it been a long time since I’ve had vegemite toast now!).
I thought it must have been a delayed attack of morning sickness, which I luckily escaped in the first trimester.
I was wrong – turned out it was gastro.
The only bread we had was this loaf of English muffin bread.
I’d made it the previous day & it was sitting, un-cut on the bench waiting for its photo shoot.

I whacked it in front of the window and snapped a few shots.
Then I sliced off a few slices and clicked the camera a couple more times.
I must add, it sliced very well.
I’ve always wanted one of those bread-slicing guides. Cutting even pieces is not my forte but this loaf made me look like a pro.

I threw one of said slices in the toaster then smeared it with a little butter and lots of vegemite and took about two photos before gobbling it up standing over the poor excuse for a photo set up.

If another good thing came from my little bug it was discovering how good this bread is for toast.
You know how English muffins are pretty tough and don’t tear when you’re spreading toppings on them like some bread does?
That’s exactly what this loaf is like.
It toasts nice and tough but it’s still really soft and fluffy in the middle with a nice crunchy crust coated in cornmeal.
My husband made me my dinner vegemite toast that night and thought it looked so good he had the same himself later declaring it ‘the best toast bread ever.’
I have to say I agree with him.
Enjoy!

I love English muffins so this bread is a wonderful idea. Hope you are feeling better!
Thanks Laura!
I was going to ask how the morning sickness has been going or whether you had had it. Sounds like a delicious solution to it :D
Yes escaped it luckily!
That’s awful Claire! But the bread does look wonderful!
It is! Now to find a sourdough version.
You always come up with this delicious ideas!
Thanks Stephanie!
How do you think this would go in a bread maker Claire?
I assume it would work just as well Chrissie. The only thing you’d miss is the cornmeal crust.
Well the bread looks very good but I’m so sorry to hear about your bout of sickness. That doesn’t sound good especially when you’re pregnant. My sister is now 37 weeks with no sign of going into labor. She’s quite pleased as she’s very sick with the flu and wants to get over that and Halloween (lives in the USA) before the baby arrives xx
Nope not great but luckily it didn’t last too long. Fingers crossed for your sister! x
Sorry you haven’t been feeling well Claire, I remember it like it was yesterday. Veg on toast is my go to when I’m my tummy isn’t settled and your bread looks so good!
What is it about vege? I guess it was what we were all fed when we were little so it’s comforting?
Hope you are feeling much better Claire. This bread as toast with Vegemite would definitely help, looks so comforting ;-)
I am thank you Danielle. It was the perfect cure!
Poor thing! Pregnant women shouldn’t have to get gastro – they have enough to deal with.
I love your bread and I’m going to make this for breakfast. I like a bread that doesn’t need styling.
I’m glad to know you’re on the mend.
Yes I’ll agree with that! Yay enjoy!
I’m sorry you’ve been crook, Claire! Good news that all is well with the bubba though! This bread looks fantastic – I love English muffins, but haven’t made any for ages, so I reckon I’d love an English muffin loaf. I think I’ve actually tried to make one in the past, but it didn’t look nearly as good as yours! :)
It’s such tasty bread Celia!
