 Four Grain English Muffins

In large mixer bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, yeast, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, oats, dry milk, sugar and salt; mix well.

In saucepan, heat water and oil until very warm (120-130F.) Add to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed.

By hand, gradually stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface, 5 to 8 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 1 hour. (30 minutes for quick rising yeast.)

Punch down dough. On surface sprinkled with cornmeal, roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness. With biscuit or cookie cutter, cut into 3 inch circles. Place muffins on ungreased cookie sheets. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 30 minutes (15 minutes for quick rising yeast.)

Bake on lightly oiled electric griddle or fry pan at 325 F for about 8 minutes on each side until deep golden brown.

Cool. To serve, split and toast.
