Tools

There are several tools that make this recipe easy and much faster cleanup. If you don't have them, we highly recommend for this and other recipes... although none are required:

1. Kitchen Scale - read this article on how a scale can save you SO much time and reduce the dishes to clean.
2. English Muffin Rings - Not required, but nice...here is a link to find them on Amazon.
3. Thermometer - Having a fast, accurate thermometer is really helpful in the kitchen. Here is an article we wrote about options and why to invest in a better quality one.
4. Griddle. You can make this in a pan, but having a griddle is just super nice. We have a built in griddle shown in the video, but we also use our cast iron one as well.
5. Bulk Yeast - Not really a tool, but we buy yeast 1lb at a time and store in our freezer. Seriously -- do this.
