Description
Light and airy English muffins made with sourdough discard, perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond milk (240 grams)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon (3 grams) active dry yeast
- ½ cup (150 grams) sourdough discard
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2½ cups bread flour
- 1 to 1½ cups of semolina flour or cornmeal
Instructions
- Mix warm milk, melted butter, sourdough discard, honey, and yeast in a large mixing bowl and let sit for a few minutes.
- Add flour and salt and mix with a dough whisk or wooden spoon until a slightly sticky dough forms and all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Cover and let rise until doubled in size, which should take 60-90 minutes.
- Refrigerate the dough overnight if desired, or skip this step to continue with the recipe.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently press or roll it to about 2.5 cm thick.
- Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter.
- Gather the scraps, stack them together, roll the dough out again, and cut out more muffins.
- Place the muffins on a baking sheet generously dusted with cornmeal or semolina, making sure both sides are well coated.
- Cover the muffins and let them rise for about 1 hour, or until they look puffy and feel light.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and place the risen muffins into the pan, leaving a little space between them.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook the other side, covered, for another 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a 175°C oven for about 10 minutes if needed, to ensure they are fully cooked through.
- Cool the muffins on a wire rack to room temperature.
