Hello CPrice,
For English muffins, the most outstanding recipe I've found is from Alan
Zelt, who posts regularly to alt.bread.recipes. This is as close to
Thomas' as I've found. 9-hour process, and worth every minute.
The recipe is here:

For English muffin bread, I prefer Bernard Clayton's in The Complete Book
of Breads (I believe that's the title). Stringy batter, open crumb, firm
chew, small loaves. Delicious.
