Hey everyone!!! We hope y’all are doing well and enjoying some wonderful Fall activities.

We’re sorry that our absence is going on a little longer than expected…we promise to have a full explanation on Monday, followed by all new blog posts. Until then here is a Recipe Rewind that our readers loved last year! Enjoy…

I love this recipe for English Muffin Bread. Back in the dark ages, before I got married, I took a cooking class at a community school. That’s where this recipe came from.

The bread is easy to make and it freezes very well – an added bonus for when those holiday guests arrive. Just take a loaf out of the freezer the night before. We love that there are no added preservatives in this recipe.

  2. Vicki & Jennifer, this English Muffin Bread looks so yummy and easy to make!!! I will definitely add it to my recipes and try soon. I agree with Coco – perfect to have with your yummy soups!!! xo Lisa

  3. I can personally vouch for this super simple bread recipe. I took the same class with Vicki, 30 plus years ago, and I have been making this bread ever since. It is soooo easy, and it produces a great loaf with that home baked taste. As a note, I mix this in my KitchenAid stand mixer which takes all of the hard work out of working the flour mixture with the liquid. You can’t go wrong with this one.

  4. How many tablespoons are two packets of yeast? 2 Tbsp?? Thank you… definitely going to try to make!
