My wife made homemade sourdough English muffins. They were stretchy and chewy and utterly amazing. I am ruined for grocery stores English muffins.
Recipe or link? I wanna try English muffins but I'm nervous.

I think she just grabbed a recipe off the internet. It wasn't a secret family recipe or anything. The key thing is that you fry them on the stove. I remember that much.
Fuuuuuuck
They were so damned good. The ones you get at the grocery store are always dry and tough. They're really only good to eat toasted and soaked in butter or covered in jam. These you could pick up and eat plain, without butter. I love...LOVE chewy bread. All the fresh breads like naan and pita are stretch and chewy.
Looks incredible!
I was amazed the day I found out that you could make English muffins at home - I'd always thought they were some processed food like Cheetos.
Actually making them was kind of a drag, though. Like tortillas, anything that has to be individually cooked always bothers me. And never seems worth making a small batch either.
But the chewiness. I love that about them. I was amazed the first time I had homemade sourdough pita (she's done that also.) I thought that pita was tough and dry because I had only ever had store bought. Fresh, homemade pita is so good you can eat it straight from the pan with no butter or anything. Wrapped around kefta and all the fixings homemade pitas don't tear and spill their contents. And fresh naan? Oh, man. The stuff we buy in the store is barely even bread once you've had fresh.
Oops
Did you have a fresh English Muffin accident?
