Sourdough English Muffins

 I got this from the blog "Amy Bakes Bread". I use half and half instead of milk and don't use butter to griddle them. Just a non-stick pan over low heat.


Levain (1:10:10, 10-12 hours/overnight at 78 degrees F)

  • 6 grams sourdough starter ripe/bubbly/active
  • 60 grams all-purpose or bread flour
  • 60 grams water

Sourdough English Muffins

  • 115 grams levain ripe/active/bubbly, see recipe notes
  • 55 grams half and half
  • 275 grams water about 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons
  • 25 grams unsalted butter melted and cooled, about 2 Tablespoons
  • 10 grams granulated sugar about 2 teaspoons
  • 10 grams salt about 1/2 Tablespoon
  • 600 grams bread flour about 4-5 cups
  • semolina or cornmeal for rising/dusting


Mix the wet and dry ingredients. Knead for a few minutes. Let proof 4-5 hours and then place in the fridge overnight.

Let warm up a couple hours. Divide into 9 balls. Press into a disc shape and sprinkle with cornmeal. Let rise about 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 350F and then cook on low heat on stovetop. About 3 mins or less per side. Then bake 15 minutes.
