  Categories: Muffins, Breads
       Yield: 20 Muffins
  
       2 tb Dry yeast
       3 c  Warm water
       2 tb Sugar
       1 ts Salt
     1/2 c  Dry milk
       8 c  Flour, divided
       6 tb Vegetable oil
  
   In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water. Add the sugar, salt
   and dry milk and bland. Add half the flour and whisk for 1 minute.
   Set the mixture aside for 1 hour, or until the sponge falls back on
   itself. Beat in the oil. Add the remaining flour and mix well. Add
   extra flour if necessary to make a fairly stiff dough.
   
   With floured hands cut out about 20 four-ounce pieces of dough and
   form them into 3-inch patties. Place the patties on a greased cookie
   sheet and let rise about half and hour, or until they are doubled in
   bulk.
   
   Preheat griddle to 325 to 350 F and cook approximately
         7    minutes per side.
   
   For Cinnamon-Raisin English Muffins: Add 1 tbs. cinnamon and 1 cup
   raisins with the remaining flour.
   
   For whole wheat English muffins: Substitute "crunchy whole wheat
   flour mix" for white flour:
   
   :           2 cups whole wheat flour
   :           2 cups cracked wheat flour
   :           4 cups unbleached white flour
