Whole Wheat English Muffins

I've made it a goal of mine for this semester to not buy any bread from a store.  If we have bread, it has to come out of my oven.  This is going to be quite a treat for me, as I love the process of making bread. Kneading the dough, letting it rise, shaping it.. it's all quite a therapeutic process, really.  So be ready for some bread recipes within the next few weeks!

To start, I decided to make some English muffins.  I only buy English muffins on occasion, but the thought making them myself was just too good to pass up.  They're so, so easy, and they taste so much better fresh out of your own oven.  I used half sprouted whole wheat flour for this recipe after buying some from Whole Foods while I was at home over break - it's supposed to help in the digestion of wheat when it's sprouted.  I'm trying it out, and so far, I've liked the results!  If you don't have sprouted flour, that's fine, too - it's not necessary for this recipe.
