Oven bottom muffins review

As a curious foodie, I love to scout for things that I have never tried before.
On a recent supermarket trip, I ran into some Sheldons oven bottom muffins, at a glance they just looked like bagels and roujiamo with a slightly browned surface.
They weren't really appealing because they look big but they were incredibly soft.
After googling it, all I got was that they were baked at the bottom of the oven so I took to instagram for answers.
There were lots of pictures of these oven bottom muffins with bacon and egg etc.
One lovely baker @bakes_by_tom was really kind to answer and explain what these oven bottom muffins were.

It's a bread roll, bap, barm,bread cake, tea cake etc but these to me are the best all rounder to use for breakfast sandwiches, salad sandwiches even put a burger on it at a BBQ. Traditionally they are baked in the bottom of the oven when the ovens were turned off at the end of the baking day hence the name oven bottom. I think you can buy g.h Sheldon's oven bottom muffins in the supermarket around the Uk. also supermarket do sell they own branded ones. These are traditionally oven bottoms what are flatter, sold all over Lancashire in shops indoor and outdoor markets.

To conclude, they are not English muffins even though they are called Oven Bottom muffins because the texture is the soft and fluffy which makes them great for breakfast fillings.
They taste so good when they are toasted! 
So now there are three muffins that are totally different, the American muffin, English muffin and the Oven bottom muffuns.

The ones by Sheldon were amazing! 
I simply toasted them and tried it with butter and it was simply heaven, it was like eating a perfectly buttered toast from your favourite greasy spoons.
Although they look big and filling, they're actually light as a cloud! 
Adding bacon and a little mayonnaise was bliss so now I can understand why this is the perfect thing for breakfast.
