Double Chocolate English Muffins

These double chocolate English muffins are so easy to make and absolutely delicious spread in peanut butter! They require one bowl and absolutely no kneading.

Ingredients

• Flour – all purpose is best, but bread flour also works.
• Cocoa Powder – I prefer to use dutch processed when baking, but regular unsweetened also works.
• Yeast – dry active is used here, but if you want to use instant yeast, you can mix the yeast with the flour and salt, then add in the warm water.
• Salt – used to add flavor and structure to the dough
• Sugar – used to sweeten the dough and activate the yeast
• Chocolate Chips – I love using semi-sweet, but milk or dark chocolate is great too.
• Cornmeal – to help the dough from sticking.
• Water – warm around 100F is best to activate the yeast.

How to make Chocolate English Muffins

• In a bowl combine warm water, yeast and sugar. Mix and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. The mixture should start to become foamy. This is how you know your yeast is activated!
• Add in 2 & 1/2 cups flour, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and salt. Mix until combined adding in an additional 1/2 cup flour as needed to get the dough to come together. Cover and let rise for an hour or until mixture has doubled in size.
• Pour some cornmeal onto a baking sheet. Set aside.
• Once dough has risen pour onto a floured surface. They dough will be sticky. Gently press into a circle and divide into 8-12 segments.
• Gently form each of the segments into a ball and place onto the prepared baking sheet (This helps prevent them from sticking). Repeat with each segment. Cover balls and allow to rise for an additional 25-30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Heat a skillet(or large griddle) to medium heat. Place balls into the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side, then place onto a clean baking sheet. Repeat with remaining balls.
• Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!
