Sourdough English Muffins
Sourdough English muffins are tangy, chewy, and full of airy nooks and crannies, making them perfect for toasting, buttering, and pairing with sweet or savory toppings.
Servings: 12 muffins
Cost: $8
Ingredients
- ½ cup active sourdough starter
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup cornmeal for sprinkling
Instructions
- The night before you plan to make the English muffins add the ingredients to make ½ cup of active sourdough starter to a clean jar. Stir until combined, loosely cover the jar and let the starter rise at room temperature. The sourdough starter should be ready to use the next morning when it has doubled in size and there are plenty of bubbles on the surface and sides of the jar.
- Add 1/2 cup of the active starter and the rest of the ingredients (except corn meal) to a large bowl and use your hands to mix until well combined. Cover and let rest 30-60 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead the dough by hand for 5 minutes. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook at the lowest speed.
- Place the dough back into the bowl, cover and let bulk ferment on the counter at room temperature 8-12 hours. The dough size should increase during this time.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, flour the top of the dough and press it out using your fingertips until it is ½" in thickness.
- Use a 3" biscuit cutter to cut rounds and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet that's been sprinkled with cornmeal. Sprinkle the tops with cornmeal, cover with a tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Heat a nonstick pan to low-medium, place the muffins on the pan and cook for about four minutes on each side until the muffins are a light brown color. Be careful to not burn the muffins. Enjoy!
