Gut Friendly English Muffins (Stovetop)

Homemade English muffins have a way of making any morning feel like a genuine occasion, and the stovetop method here means you don't even need to turn on the oven. The dough comes together with whole milk, active dry yeast, and a small amount of baking soda — simple, recognizable ingredients that are easy on a sensitive digestive system compared to the preservatives and additives packed into most store-bought versions. That short, clean ingredient list is exactly what makes this recipe a smart choice when you're trying to keep things gentle and predictable for your gut. The slow, low-heat cooking on a dry skillet gives each muffin a beautifully golden crust while keeping the interior soft and airy, and the fork-split technique at the end is what unlocks all those signature nooks and crannies. Cornmeal dusting adds a subtle texture and a slightly nutty flavor without complicating the ingredient list at all. These are endlessly versatile — equally good with a smear of butter, a poached egg, or a little jam — and knowing exactly what went into them makes every bite that much more satisfying.
