Рецепт Cheesy English Crumpet Bread
If you are a regular around these parts, then you know that I love to make fresh bread. I have taken a break over the summer, but now that fall is in the air I am ready to get back at it. Well, fall was in the air last week. This week the highs are in the upper 90′s. Yesterday was the first day of school here (I now have a 3rd grader!). Sending the kids to school with a high of 95 degrees seemed a little strange, a day at the pool seemed more fitting.
Have you ever had an English Crumpet before? It is similar to an English Muffin. It has all the nooks and crannies that fill with the melty butter you spread on it. I have seen English Muffin bread many times before, but I had never seen an English Crumpet bread. I was excited to give it a try, and the addition of cheese was just good idea. Afterwards my husband said maybe adding some chopped jalapenos would make it even better!
Crumpet bread came together very quickly. There is no kneading involved at all. You just mix the flour together with the liquid, and put in a bowl to let it rise. If you have any hesitations with yeast, this is a great one to start with! The leftover Crumpet bread was perfect toasted with butter for breakfast the next morning. I think it would also be great for a twist on your sandwich at lunch time.
