English Muffin Bread

5-6 cups all purpose flour
2 packages yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 cups milk
1/2 cup water
cornmeal

Grease 2 8.5" x 4.5" x 2.5" loaf pans. Coat the bottom and sides of the greased pans with cornmeal.

Combine yeast, 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and baking soda in a bowl.  Heat milk and water until very warm, but not boiling (microwave 2 1/2 minutes on high).  Add milk and water mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.  Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time until the mixture forms a stiff batter. 

Spoon batter into loaf pans.  Cover and let raise in a warm place for up to 45 minutes.  Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes.  Remove from pans and cool.

Toast and ENJOY
