Delightful homemade English muffins made using 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 semolina flour or cornmeal

Instructions

  1. Mix warm milk, melted butter, sourdough discard, honey, and yeast in a large mixing bowl and let sit for a few minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. Cover the bowl and let rise until doubled in size, which should take 60-90 minutes.
  4. Refrigerate the dough overnight if you prefer; you can skip this step if you want to continue with the recipe right away.
  5. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently press or roll it to about 2.5 cm thick.
  6. Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter.
  7. Gather the scraps, stack them together, roll the dough out again, and cut out more muffins.
  8. Place the shaped muffins on a baking sheet generously dusted with cornmeal or semolina, ensuring both sides are well coated.
  9. Cover the muffins and let them rise for about 1 hour until they look puffy and feel light. If the dough is coming straight from the refrigerator, this may take closer to 2 hours.
  10. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and place the risen muffins into the pan, leaving a little space between them.
  11. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook the other side, covered, for another 5 minutes.
  12. Transfer them to a 175°C oven for about 10 minutes if needed to ensure they are fully cooked through; the baking time will depend on how thick your muffins are.
  13. Cool the muffins on a wire rack until they reach room temperature.

Notes

For sugar-free options, use stevia or monk fruit instead of honey.
