How to make english muffin bread:

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt and baking soda. Add warm milk and water. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl. Beat on high for 3 minutes. Stir in remaining flour (batter will be stiff). Do not knead.

Grease two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pans. Sprinkle pans with cornmeal. Spoon into the pans and sprinkle cornmeal on top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
