When I put my English Muffin Bread in the oven. I was immediately transported back to a time. Toast reminds me of childhood. It is breakfast, lunch, dinner. It is something I would almost always be happy to eat. This recipe is easy, it's cheap (you can save $12 a week), it's healthy (no fat and no sugar) and last but not least it's delicious.
It keeps for 5 days on the counter, which means you can have breakfast and snack all week.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups warm milk (in my recipe homemade almond milk, I prefer vegetable milk)
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon rice malt (or integral sugar)
  • 4 - 1/2 teaspoons dry active yeast

In a bowl pour 2 cups warm milk and 1/2 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon integral sugar (or rice malto), mix until everything is combined, add 4 teaspoons dry active yeast, then stir with a whisk and allow to sit 5 minutes.
