Today I am modifying a traditional bread recipe of England. It is a simple bread made in a pan and eaten slathered with butter and jam. Known as crumpet, I am presenting a savoury version of the same.

Steps

1

Take the warm milk in a bowl and add sugar and yeast to it. Mix and let it stand for 10 minutes. It will turn frothy and is ready to use.
2

In a stand mixer bowl, take the flour and salt and mix. Make a hole in the centre and add the warm milk yeast mixture. Let it run on medium speed for 7-8 minutes to make a thick dough.
3

Knead the dough with greased hands to form a soft dough. Cover it and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours. It should double in size.
4

Punch the dough and deflate it. Dissolve the baking soda in the warm water and add it to the dough. Add it to the stand mixer bowl and beat it for 1-2 minutes till it mix well and forms a smooth thick batter. Let the batter stand for another 30 minutes. Small bubbles will form and now your batter is ready to be cooked.
5

Now heat a frying pan and grease it with oil or butter. Grease the crumpet rings also with oil. Place the ring on the frying pan. Pour a ladle of batter into the ring. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 6-7 minutes. Once it is fully cooked, flip it and let it cook on another side for a minute or two. Remove the crumpets from the rings with a sharp knife clearing the edges.
6

Mix the boiled sweet corn, grated mozarella cheese, salt and pepper. Smear the hot crumpets with butter and top it with the sweet corn mixture. You can add a little mayonnaise if you wish. Serve warm.
