🥖 The Science of the Griddle
Four weeks in the oven. This week we're leaving it behind. 🔥 English muffins don't bake. They griddle. That's a different physics problem, and it's worth a few minutes to understand what's actually happening under your dough. The video walks through three things: 🌡️ Why 275 to 300 is the sweet spot, and what happens if you go hotter or colder. 🌽 What cornmeal is actually doing. Hint: it's not just dusting flour. It's a steam vent. 🍴 Why we split with a fork, never a knife. Structural reasons, not tradition. If you've ever ended up with a dense, hockey-puck muffin, the answer is in here. Watch this video before Friday night. Then mix. See you at the griddle Saturday. ~ Henry ⭐🔥

The academy has done their part in Henry is well on his way or will be on his way to Kansas. Everyone was so generous and so kind. Your generosity will not go unnoticed. Knowing his travel to Kansas was funded by the academy will be extremely appreciated and so special. It was my pleasure begging for money, lol just kidding. But I want thank everybody for sharing the post and working the thread. We all did it, and where the main thing is our Guy Henry is going to see his son throw the javelin in Kansas , again thank you for working the thread.

No Mold, No Problem: The Tuna Can Muffins Are Done
Here they are. The last of my yeast water, and it went out on a high note. I didn’t have English muffin rings, so I did what bakers have always done. I improvised. Opened both ends of a tuna can, and there’s your mold. Straight sides, clean walls, and that’s exactly why these faces came out so flat and even instead of doming up like a biscuit. The fancy rings do the same job. They just cost more than a can of tuna. The free-form ones held their shape fine too, so don’t let a missing tool stop you. The cans just give you that classic uniform look. And the wild yeast carried the whole thing. No packet. Even golden faces, real height, a soft chew, and that faint sweetness you only get from yeast water. The cornmeal caught the color just right. That’s the full arc on this one: a ripe sponge, a slow proof, raw rounds on the griddle, and a finished plate. The water’s gone now, but it gave me one last good batch. What are you improvising with in your kitchen? Show me your best MacGyver baking trick in the comments. Perfection is not required. Progress is. Henry ⭐🔥
