Sourdough English Muffins
Ingredients:
Sponge:
- 33% Sourdough Starter (100% Hydration)
- 77% Flour
- 82% Milk
Dough:
- 23% Flour
- 7% Sugar
- 3% Salt
- 2% Baking Soda
Method:
- In a medium bowl, mix the sponge ingredients until just combined.
- Cover and let rest for 8 hours or overnight.
- Add the final dough ingredients and mix to roughly combine.
- Turn the dough out onto the counter and knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Flour the counter and your hands well, and roll or pat the dough out to a thickness of about one-half inch.
- Cut the dough into 3 inch circles and place them on semolina-dusted parchment paper.
- Cover and let proof for 45 – 60 minutes.
- Lightly oil a griddle and heat it over medium-low heat.
- Cook the muffins for a total of about 7 or 8 minutes on each side, until browned and the sides are firm.
- Cool on a wire rack. To get the best nooks and crannies for toasting, split the muffins with a fork rather than a knife
