Recipe: English Muffin Bread (Bread Machine)

If you like English Muffins, or bread with lots of crrrrunch when you toast it, then you'll love this bread.  It was so easy to make that I made loaves all weekend long as my family would finish a loaf each day.  We had it on BLT's, toasted for breakfast with jam and just plain with butter.
