Sourdough English Muffins

Learn how to make these easy and soft Sourdough English Muffins!

Ingredients:

• 350g All-Purpose Flour • 65g Whole Wheat Flour • 125g Sourdough Starter • 1 ½ tsp Salt • 313g Whole Milk • 2 TBS Unsalted Butter • 2 TBS Honey • Semolina or fine corn meal for dusting

1. Scald Milk

• Scald the milk over medium heat in a saucepan • Scalding the milk will help you get fluffy English muffins • Remove from heat and whisk in butter and honey • Let cool

2. Mix Dough Ingredients

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix flours and salt together. • Add sourdough starter and scalded milk and mix for about 7 minutes until the dough comes together.

3. Bulk Fermentation

• Place the dough into a bowl, cover, and proof. • Proof the dough for about 5 hours until doubled in size. • I use the bread proofer linked below for the best results!

4. Overnight Proof

• Once the dough is proofed, place in the refrigerator for an overnight proof. • This will slow down fermentation and improve flavor.

5. Divide and Shape

• The next day, divide the dough into 12 equal sized pieces • Roll each into a round using the friction of the countertop

6. Final Proof

• Prepare a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and sprinkled with semolina or fine corn meal

• Place the rounds on the sheet pan and proof in a warm location for 4-5 hours until doubled in size.

7. Griddle & Bake

• Preheat oven to 350ºC (177ºC) • Griddle each side of the muffins in a cast iron skillet for a couple minutes until browned.

• Bake the muffins for 10 minutes.
