I have already confessed my sincere love for my bubbly 6+ year old sourdough starter that I talked about in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw8qZWWia9w&t=198s   

I use it in my kitchen often. Pancakes, english muffins, waffles...I have even attempted Sourdough Doughnuts:  https://farmhouseonboone.com/farmhouse-on-boone/whole-grain-coconut-oil-sourdough-doughnuts/

I love the way sourdough adds a depth of flavor to baked goods that just isn't there in store bought bread products.

Plus, I have a satisfaction cooking with a starter that I made and maintained with my own two hands. I hope to pass it down as a family heirloom.  

To me, it is valuable to learn how to make something in your own home that you just can't buy in the store. Artisan style. 

I get really excited by things like this.

Grains have gotten an undeserved bad rep in the health food community.  

Have you ever heard of phytic acid? Basically, its an antinutrient found in grains, beans and nuts that interferes with the absorption of certain nutrients. They are present on grains to keep them from spoiling.

There is a reason they are there, but there is also good evidence that our bodies weren’t meant to handle them.   Proper preparation of grains eliminates most, if not all, of the phytic acid in offending foods.

But, did you know traditional cultures thrived on grains? The key difference between the way they consumed grains, and the way we do in our modern society can be summed up in two words: proper preparation. 

It was necessary for folks to ferment grains for them to rise into delicious bread. Before yeast was isolated and sold in little packets, sourdough starter was a valuable commodity in homes and families, passed down for generations.

These days we’ve lost that art.  And, what have we found?  People can’t handle grains anymore.

But for now let's talk about the topic at hand: How to Make Sourdough English Muffins

I love Sourdough English Muffins because they taste like bread and work like bread, but take about 1/10th of the work making sourdough bread takes. 

And for this busy momma, that's a recipe for a great...well..recipe.

I can whip them in no time. And my family can enjoy a healthy bread that is so much cheaper than sprouted whole grain bread from the store. 

Sourdough English muffins work great for sandwiches with meat and cheese, or smothered in butter and honey for breakfast.

How to Make Sourdough English Muffins

The night before you want sourdough English muffins stir in a glass bowl:

2 cups flour
1 cup water
1/2 cup fed sourdough starter

Cover it with a towel and let it sit at room temperature for 12- 24 hours.  You can get away with a longer in the cooler months and the fermentation process can take less time in the summer if your house is hot.

After it has fermented, add to the mixture:

1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat your cast iron skillet on low and add a little coconut oil.

Mix the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated.  You will probably have to use your hands for this. The dough will be pretty thick.

Divide the dough in 12 equal parts and drop it in your cast iron skillet. 
 Keep it on low for about 10 minutes so the dough has a chance to rise.

After you are happy with the amount of rising, turn the skillet up to about 3 or 4 (not quite medium) and continue to cook until they are browned slightly on the bottom. 

on’t try to flip them until they come up easily from the pan. The goal is to only flip them one time.

Cook them on the other side until browned.

These English muffins have a tendency to cook on the outside before the inside is full done. So, be sure to not turn the skillet up to high.  If they are browned on the outside, but still not done on the inside, throw them in a 250 to 300 degree oven for 10 minutes or so.

The goal is to only flip them one time.

After they are cooked all the way through, slice them open and Enjoy!

A word on flour:
Over the years I have fed my starter with all of the following at some point: freshly ground whole grain white flour that I ground in my own mill, all purpose flour, ancient einkorn, unbleached all purpose, store bought whole wheat flour....and probably some others I can't remember.  

The point is my sourdough starter has always bubbled away despite the flour choice.

English Muffin Pizzas Recipe Video

Fluffy, light with all the nooks and crannies, Homemade English Muffins are so simple to make. A great make ahead breakfast option for busy mornings!

Homemade English Muffins

milk

butter (softened)

sugar

instant yeast

Cornmeal

Warm your milk until it is just warm, not too hot or it will kill the yeast.

In the bowl of your stand mixer add the warmed milk, butter, salt, sugar, egg, flour and yeast.

With your paddle beater beat the dough until a ball forms and it comes away easily from the side of bowl.

Scrap down the sides and get the dough into ball shape in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has just about doubled in size. I use the proof mode on my oven but any warm space will do.

I separate my dough into 8 equal balls.  The dough will seem very sticky but as you are rolling it in your hands to form the balls it will become less sticky so don’t panic!

I sprinkle cornmeal onto a plate and flatten my balls onto the cornmeal until they are just a bit flatter and more the shape and size of an english muffin.  Make sure you get cornmeal on both sides of the muffins.

These english muffins are cooked on a griddle.  I use an electric griddle that fits all of the muffins at once.  You can also use a large griddle pan on top of the stove.

You want to cook these on low heat, as low as your stove or griddle goes.

I spray the pan and place the muffins on the pan.  As many as you can fit without them touching.

Cook the muffins over low heat for 7 to 15 minutes per side.  You are looking for a lightly golden crust and the inside to be cooked through.

If the crust is brown and you don’t feel like the inside is cooked you can always through them in a low oven for about 10 minutes.

Let them cool and you are ready to serve!

Tender and crusty English muffins that are undetectably gluten-free! Perfect for breakfast sandwiches or topping with butter and jam! Just 10 ingredients required!

Gluten-Free English Muffins

Tbsp cane sugar ((ensure organic for vegan-friendly))

½ tsp active dry yeast

Tbsp ground chia seeds

brown rice flour

tapioca starch ((also called tapioca flour))

potato starch ((NOT potato flour))

oat flour* ((DIVIDED // certified gluten-free as needed))

tsp sea salt

tsp baking powder

Tbsp cornmeal ((DIVIDED // optional))

tsp avocado oil ((for greasing pan))

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup (180 ml) of the warm water (100-110 degrees F / 38-43 C) and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the yeast and let it bloom on the counter for 10 minutes until frothy. If it doesn’t foam, start over — your water may have been too hot or the packet of yeast was expired.

Once the yeast has bloomed, whisk in ground chia seeds and let the mixture gel for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, 1/3 cup (30 g) of the oat flour, and salt.

Add the wet ingredients to the center of the dry and stir together with a wooden spoon — it should turn into a thick and dense bread dough. You can knead with your hands for a few minutes to thoroughly combine. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for one hour in a warm spot.

Once the dough has risen, measure out the remaining 1/4 cup (60 ml) of warm water (100-110 degrees F / 38-43 C) and add the baking powder to the warm water to dissolve. Add the water mixture to the dough and mix with a wooden spoon or hand mixer until all lumps are broken up. It should be thick and sticky. Let this mixture rest again for 30 minutes in a warm spot covered with a kitchen towel.

While the dough rests, prepare a baking sheet by sprinkling 1 Tbsp (19 g) of cornmeal evenly across it, and preheat the oven to 350 F (176 C). Once rested, add the remaining 1/3 cup (30 g) of oat flour to the dough and stir with a wooden spoon. It should be thick and semi-sticky, but not so wet that it sticks badly to your hands. If it is too sticky, add oat flour 1 tsp at a time until you can handle the dough. At this time, you can choose to make your English muffins right away, or transfer the dough to the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.

To make the muffins, divide the dough into 6 even pieces and shape them into flat, round English muffin shapes, about 3 inches wide and 1/2-inch thick. Place the prepared dough onto the baking sheet on top of the cornmeal. When all the dough is shaped into English muffins, sprinkle the remaining 1 Tbsp cornmeal over top of them, aiming for even distribution.

Add 1 tsp avocado oil to a cast iron skillet, griddle, or non-stick pan and turn on medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, turn it down to medium heat and add as many English muffins as you can. It is helpful to use a metal spatula to quickly pick up the English muffin dough from the baking sheet and flip it into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, being careful not to burn. Flip and cook for 3-4 minutes on the second side, then remove from the skillet and place back on the baking sheet. Repeat until all muffins have been cooked in the skillet. Place the baking sheet of cooked muffins in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the outside is very firm and crusty and they sound somewhat hollow when tapped.

Remove the English muffins from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Instead of cutting the muffins, use a fork to poke into the side of each English muffin all the way around until it can be easily pulled apart. Serve immediately with jam and butter of choice, or toast for extra crispy goodness! Leftovers keep well in an airtight container for 2 days at room temperature and reheat best in a toaster.

These Sourdough English Muffins are easy to make and the perfect way to use up your sourdough discard! The recipe is vegan-friendly and uses only simple ingredients. Prepare the night before you wish to make your English Muffins.

Sourdough English Muffins (Vegan Sourdough Discard Recipe)

sourdough starter (discard)

yogurt

280 g all purpose flour (or bread flour)

120 g all purpose flour (or bread flour)

tsp baking soda

tsp fine salt

Start by mixing the sourdough discard with 230 g vegan-friendly greek-style yoghurt, 80ml lukewarm water and 280 g of plain flour and set the mix aside lightly covered at room temperature. Let it rest overnight or for at least 8 hrs.

The next day, the mix will have expanded and show bubbles as a sign of activity. Give it a stir and then add in 120g flour, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp of fine salt. Combine everything into a sticky dough - keep a container of water nearby to wet your hands and prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers whilst you&#39;re handling it.

Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface to about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter (or a mason jar) to cut out the Sourdough English muffins. Transfer them to a non-stick baking sheet and allow for them to rest for 1 hour. Gently brush off any excess flour.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, once hot, place a few muffins into the pan at a time, giving them room to expand. Once the bottom edges begin to slightly brown, flip the muffins and heat for another 1-2 minutes until the sourdough muffins are golden on both sides.
