 I love making and eating English Muffins.  They are so versatile and freeze well.  I usually keep 4-5 out and freeze the rest and toast them as needed.

This is similar to the last batch I made, but this time I used Rye instead of Spelt and I added some roasted potatoes.

I was very happy with the final result.  They were a little wet and I had to use a lot of bench flour, so next time cutting back on the water slightly wouldn't hurt.

The crumb was perfect for English Muffins and they toast up real nice with a smear of cream cheese :).

Steven Hawking came out this week to say that humanity is doomed.  He says that we will kill ourselves by letting our future robots, that we create, take over the world and kill us off because……. we are too stupid to stop it.  My question is - Where has he been?  People have been predicting this and writing extensively about it for decades – not to mention all the movies made about it.

THE Okayest BREAD RECIPE EVER

As a group project we were told that we had to put what we learned to the test. The directions we were given were very vague. There was plenty of room to be creative and add what we wanted. The number one rule was that we must use our knowledge of cellular respiration, fermentation, and how materials react to one another.
