In our modern world, McDonalds made popular the English muffin with their Egg McMuffin sandwich for breakfast. It is a small round flat type of yeast bread known for all its “nooks and crannies” in it.

Add dissolved yeast and the butter in the water; increase speed to mix batter for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape batter into a greased bowl; let rise for 1 hour. Sprinkle corn meal on saran or wax paper. Scrape dough onto cornmeal, sprinkle top with cornmeal and gently pat dough out to ½ inch thick.
