English Muffin Batter Bread

Ingredients

• 2 packages yeast
• 2 Tbs sugar

• 1 tsp salt
• 5 cups flour
• 1 ½ cups warm milk
• ½ tsp baking soda dissolved in 1 Tbs water

Method

1. Proof yeast, sugar and warm water in a large bowl.
2. Grease inside of 3 one-pound coffee cans and underside of plastic lids. Sprinkle with cornmeal.
3. To yeast add salt, 3 cups flour and milk. Beat until smooth. Add soda in water and mix well.
4. Add remaining flour to make stiff, heavy dough that is too sticky to knead.
