The yeast amount, assuming 2 1/4 tsp. yeast per packet, would be 9 tsps. or 3 Tbs. Yikes.

I compared this to the KAF English muffin bread recipe--which is a single loaf.

KAF: half as much sugar, 1/3 the yeast (1 Tbs. for a single loaf), 2 Tbs. of oil, twice as much salt, and twice as much baking soda.

Baking temperature is the same, and times are close.

I'm may try this one--but with a lot less yeast.
