Bim’s Sourdough English Muffins
Ran out of bread last week for brekkie. I was craving for English muffins. I used the high gluten flour and added some wholewheat. I was being creative again in my safe and happy place, my kitchen. I made the muffins too large and still getting use to my high gluten flour. The first tray was too dark. The second, experimenting and baked it lighter. I only had 12 rings and ended up with 14. I pan fried the front 2 in the first dark baking pan as I ran out of rings.
I made these before I got sick. I tried being creative as usual as did not want to slave over the stove frying them. Tropical weather here and so hot and extremely humid. It was 90 F. I decided to bake instead of frying them. I covered them with another baking pan on top. Trying to be innovative and thinking out of the box.
Here is the recipe I used and halved the recipe for 12 English muffins. Please do try as they were such great tasting English muffins I have ever tasted. I used active starter as I had extra that I had made.
