These were great. Easy to make and not too sweet. The kids loved them. I used butter instead of shortening for the filling because we don't use shortening in our home. They still turned out great. The filling is light, fluffy. We will double the filling recipe the next time as it really didn't make enough.

I have made English Muffins for years, but not as often as my family would like because it takes so much time. I was amazed at how easy this recipe was and very suprised at how tasty it was. We baked 6 loaves of it this weekend!! The first batch I made with regular white store bought flour, but the second batch I doubled and used all freshly ground hard white wheat. They turned out great. Our family prefers the freshly ground wheat. It is not the prettiest bread we've ever made, but the entire family enjoyed them. You have to be sure to toast them enough to get the full flavor. We love how the crust gets so crunchy. Also we noticed that it made more of a soft dough rather than a batter. I dipped my finger tips in flour and smoothed out the dough in the pans. It did fall a bit in the center, but this didn't seem to effect the flavor or texture of the bread. I have all ready shared this recipe with a friend. My husband loves English Muffins with his breakfast and He was just as happy with these. We will be making them again. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

I changed this recipe slightly to work with what we had on hand. I used 1 cup freshly chopped flax seed. (The body just passes out whole flax seed and you lose the nurtitional value unless you chop or grind it) I will try it with the sunflower seeds added in the future, but was out of them at this time. I used butter rather than margarine and used all freshly ground Hard White Prarie Gold Wheat. I cracked the Prarie Gold for the cracked wheat. I was boiling potatoes to mash so I poured the water off of them for the hot water in the recipe. The bread turned out great. My entire family loved it. We even made sandwiches out of it. It was suprisingly light for a bread that had seeds in it. One daughter said it made great toast. My Husband is a very picky eater and requested I send some in his lunch today. This is a bread I will bake again and again. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
