Sourdough English Muffins
Ingredients
-
450 g wheat flour
-
250 g milk (room temperature)
-
100 g active sourdough starter
-
20 g sugar
-
10 g salt
-
30 g soft butter
Instructions
1. Dough:
Mix all ingredients and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes, then knead briefly again.
2. Bulk Fermentation:
Let rise for 4–6 hours at room temperature until visibly puffed.
3. Shaping:
Roll out gently to approx. 2–2.5 cm thickness. Cut into rounds using an 8–10 cm cutter.
4. Final Proof:
Place muffins on parchment paper dusted with cornmeal. Let rise for 1–1.5 hours.
5. Pan-Baking:
Heat a heavy skillet over low heat. Cook muffins for 6–7 minutes per side until golden brown.
Tip: Use a fork to split them open for the classic "nooks and crannies" texture.
