Not true. Spouse wanted sourdough bread, he never cooked anything. Now he bakes really good bread, also bagels & focaccia. He learned from SIL & YT. You can do it, too.
I think there might be a qualifier there - Teach a hungry man to wash dishes and he'll eat as long as someone else cooks. Teach him to cook and paper plates are a good investment!
What I sense here is the desire for English muffins or something similar that are good, but also do-able for someone starting out. Waiting overnight for dough to rise is a few steps down the road. An-tic-i-paa-tion...
What is even easier along these lines is starting out with (gasp) Bisquick and the instructions on the box.
Those are much more honest and decent than whacking a toilet paper tube full of dough to make a pre-formed chemical biscuit. Then move on to homemade biscuits with three or four ingredients (sausage - not kosher but yumm) and a simple well in the flour and mixing by eye. Results are fast and tasty.

Harry, there is an old David Allen Cole on the radio right now:>)
Some folks like those things and my SO is one of them.

LOL! I have a "Take This Job and Shove It" movie poster - based on one of his songs. Barbara Hershey and Martin Mull and others. He did the title song.
Yeah, fun stuff. We're getting off topic though...
The Market Basket (New England supermarket chain) has store brand English muffins that are "fork split", in other words you work them apart with a fork from the slight cut they come with.
I've made English muffins at least a couple of times; in the '70s, when I was into sourdough, and more recently, using a bread machine.
They're pretty simple with a bread machine (mine was $15 at a thrift store). You toss in the ingredients, set to "dough", then roll out the dough and cut with a round cutter; you can use a jar or glass as a cutter. Then you cook them on a griddle or frying pan.
