Modified Bim's Sourdough English Muffins

I used a popular sourdough English muffin recipe, slightly modified, to make perfect breakfast treats in my house.

Prep Time 2 hours 10 minutes
Cook Time 6 minutes
cold retard 12 hours
Total Time 2 hours 16 minutes
Servings 24 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1200 grams bread flour
  • 760 grams milk
  • 300 grams sourdough discard starter
  • 80 grams honey
  • 22 grams salt
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.

  2. Let it sit on the counter or in a warm environment if the house is cold, and do 4 sets of stretches and folds every 30 minutes (2 hours time).

  3. Let sit and proof another 2 hours.

  4. Option 1 - cut and cook the same day

    Option 2 - put in the refrigerator for a cold retard overnight / 10-12 hours.

  5. When ready, turn out the dough and cut into 110-gram pieces. Shape into a ball, then flatten to about 1" thick.

  6. Let rise 2 hours.

  7. Cook in a cast iron skillet, preheated, for 4-6 minutes per side. In the original recipe, there were instructions to then bake at 375°F for 4 minutes. I did not find this necessary.
