Whole Wheat English Muffins

Whisk together the flours, salt, sugar, baking soda and yeast. Set aside.In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until the butter has just melted.In a stand mixer with the dough attachment, combine the milk and butter with the egg and dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together. Allow it to mix on medium speed for an additional minute. This can also be accomplished without a stand mixer by combining the ingredients in a bowl and then kneading the dough briefly.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to 1 inch thickness. Use a round cutter (approximately 3¾ inches) to cut the english muffins, re-rolling the dough as needed. Place the cut dough on a baking sheet dusted with semolina flour or cornmeal. Cover the baking sheet with a towel and allow the dough to rise for 20 minutes.Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Use a nonstick skillet on low heat to cook the muffins for 4-5 minutes per side, until crispy and brown. Finish cooking the muffins in the oven for 15 minutes.Before serving, fork split and toast the english muffins. These will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.
