I have tried making English muffins a few times. Each time the flavor was good but I didn't end up with the open interior texture that I expect from storebought English muffins.

I let them proof for the amount of time recommended by the recipe- about an hour. I cooked them on an electric skillet. They took a bit longer to cook than the recipe called for- about 5 minutes per side if I recall.

What do I have to do to encourage the formation of large holes and an open interior texture in my English muffins?

    Could you post or link to the recipe? One unfortunately common problem is that a lot of recipes out there just plain don't work.

I found a great recipe for English muffins, which is a variation on Alton Brown's recipe. Basically, the variation calls for adding a bit of baking soda after proofing the dough.

I've made this recipe a couple of times, with very satisfying results. The yeast flavor is a bit strong for those used to store-bought, but I like it.
