The English Muffins At This Ohio Bakery Are So Good That They Sell Out Every Day

I know what you're thinking: how good can English muffins actually be? I hear you: praising a food as simple and pedestrian as an English muffin seems silly -- that is, unless you've had the English muffins from Blue Oven Bakery in Cincinnati, Ohio. Buttery and blissfully soft and chewy, full of the roll's signature nooks and crannies, the English muffins from Blue Oven have become this Ohio bakery's signature menu item, selling out daily and setting the bar impossibly high for all other English muffin to ever compare.

Consider, for a moment, the English muffin. It's not a bagel. It's not a muffin. It's not a roll or a scone. It's kind of, as it were, the Jan Brady of bread...

...but not at Blue Oven Bakery. At Blue Oven Bakery, the English muffin reigns supreme. This is easily the most popular item on the menu, a simple-yet-oh-so-delicious parcel of carbs that sells out like hotcakes.

What makes the English muffins at Blue Oven so special, you ask? Let me explain.

The English muffins at Blue Oven are made fresh daily. The ingredients are simple -- flour, yeast, olive oil -- but instead of just olive oil, the bakers add ghee. Ghee is clarified butter, and the addition of this sumptuous ingredient makes the flavor somehow savory and sweet.

They are hand-formed and sprinkled with a crackly coating of cornmeal before taking in some "sun" in the eponymous blue oven.

Available in both white and whole wheat, these delicious little rolls sell out daily, so your best bet is arriving at the bakery as early as possible.

Whether you enjoy your English muffin plain and untoasted, heated with a pat of butter or jam, or as the bread of choice for your burger or BLT, one thing is certain: once you've had the English muffins from Blue Oven Bakery in Cincinnati, Ohio, there's no going back to regular, old grocery store muffins!

Have you tried the English muffins from Blue Oven Bakery before? While you can grab these delightful rolls at farmers markets throughout Southwest Ohio, I recommend visiting Blue Oven's stall at Findlay Market and making it a morning of shopping local!
