Signature Select Sourdough English Muffins
What it is
These are round, leavened flatbreads, typically made with a sourdough starter that gives them a distinctive tangy flavor and chewy texture. They are baked on a griddle or in an oven, resulting in a slightly crisp exterior and a soft, airy interior. The characteristic nooks and crannies are ideal for holding butter, jam, or other toppings. This product is suitable for those following a plant-based diet.
How people cook with it
English muffins are a versatile breakfast staple, perfect for toasting and enjoying with your favorite spreads. They also form the base for many delicious brunch and lunch creations.

The best way to enjoy these sourdough English muffins is by toasting them. Slice the muffin in half horizontally using a fork to preserve the nooks and crannies. Toast them in a toaster, under a broiler, or in a skillet until golden brown and slightly crisp. They can also be used for savory applications.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular English muffins, the sourdough variety offers a more complex flavor profile due to the fermentation process. The starter imparts a subtle tanginess and a chewier texture. This difference in leavening and fermentation creates a unique eating experience that many find appealing.
