Sourdough English Muffins
What it is
These are round, leavened flatbreads that have been par-baked and then finished on a griddle or in a toaster. They are characterized by their distinctive nooks and crannies, which are ideal for holding butter, jam, or other toppings. The sourdough process imparts a subtle tang and a slightly chewy texture, setting them apart from standard muffins.
How people cook with it
Enjoy these muffins for breakfast, brunch, or even as a base for savory sandwiches.
- Toasted with butter and jam
- As an English muffin sandwich base
- With eggs and cheese
- For a quick breakfast
To prepare, split the muffin horizontally using a fork or knife to preserve the texture. Toast them in a toaster, under a broiler, or in a skillet until golden brown and heated through. Their unique texture absorbs toppings well.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular English muffins, these are made with a sourdough starter, which contributes a unique tangy flavor and a chewier, more complex texture. The fermentation process also affects the crumb structure, creating more pronounced nooks and crannies.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused muffins in their original packaging at room temperature for a few days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Ensure they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn. Thaw at room temperature or reheat directly from frozen.
