Ingredients
- 1 1/4 + cup very warm water
- 1 tsp. granulated cane sugar
- 1 packet instant yeast ~2 1/4 tsp. e.g. Red Star® Active Dry Yeast
- 3 cups 405 grams gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 3 Tbs. granulated cane sugar
- 3 egg whites or egg substitute like aquafaba
- 4 Tbs. mild oil like avocado extra virgin olive, sunflower, safflower, etc.
Instructions
- Add the yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar and warm water mixture together and set aside to proof.
- Whisk together dry ingredients and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the 3 tablespoons of sugar, egg whites and oil. Mix well, then add the yeast mixture.
- Beat with an electric mixer and slowly add the flour mixture, beating for 2 minutes after mixed to make the dough lighter; add more warm water by the tablespoon if the dough is tough or tight; it should be firm but easy to manipulate and not too sticky.
- For oven method,
- oil or butter 9-10 popover tins, jumbo muffin tins or bun trays, then spoon the dough into the trays, filling about 2/3 full. Cover, set aside in a warm place, and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350º F static or 325º F convection.
- Bake raised muffins for 20 minutes (reduce bake time with convection), or until they are light brown and cooked through.
- Once cooled, slice with a serrated bread knife 2 times each to make into English Muffins, just perfect for toasting! Makes 9-10 popover buns; once each sliced twice, equals ~30 individual muffins.
- For stovetop or griddle method,
- sprinkle gluten free corn meal on the griddle first; no oil is necessary unless your griddle is not non-stick.
- Shape into balls a bit smaller than the palm of your hand, then wrap in plastic wrap and set aside to rise for 30 minutes.
- Flatten each ball gently, then place onto medium-hot griddle, watching to be sure they don't burn. Flip once they have risen some and the bottom is browning.
- Place a plate on top of the flipped English Muffin or flatten gently with a spatula and continue to cook until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Depending on the heat of your griddle, this could take around 20 minutes to cook completely without burning.
- Remove to cool before slicing. Use a fork to pry them open rather than slicing with a knife for more nooks and crannies! Top with butter or your favorite jam with or without toasting each half first.
