        1. Thank you! 😊 I wouldn’t recommend swapping in regular all-purpose flour for this recipe because gluten-free and wheat flours behave very differently. If you’re looking for a version made with regular flour, I actually have a Classic English Muffins recipe that was developed specifically for it. I think you’ll get much better results following that recipe. Happy baking! 🍞✨
