This recipe provides an easy-to-follow method to prepare homemade English muffin bread in the microwave. The bread is perfect for making toasts, sandwiches, and crunchier croutons. The variations to the recipe provide options to customize the bread to your tastes including cinnamon raisin and garlic herb flavors.
