What’s In Vegan Sourdough English Muffins?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Sourdough Starter Discard: you can buy sourdough starter, or I have a great guide on how to make your own in one week!
• Granulated Sugar
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Almond Milk: you can use any variety that you would drink. I prefer almond milk.
• All Purpose Flour: I normally use all purpose flour for all my baking recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish.
• Salt
• Corn Meal: to get that signature texture on the outside of the muffins. I love adding cornmeal to my breads as they start their second rise… corn meal has such a nice texture and makes these English muffins look super professional!

How Do I Make Overnight Sourdough English Muffins?

1. The night before, mix all ingredients except for the corn meal in a large bowl. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is well combined into a dense dough. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm place overnight, for 8 hours.
2. Once dough has risen, flour a cutting board. Roll the dough out on the cutting board to 1/2 inch thick. Using a glass or measuring cup, cut even circles for each english muffin. Take excess dough, knead together, roll out, and cut again until there is no more dough left. Mine made 10 english muffins.
3. Dip each side of an English muffin into the corn meal, then place on a sheet pan. Cover the muffins and allow them to rise for another hour, until they’ve doubled in size.
4. To cook, heat a cast iron skillet over low heat. Make sure it’s nice and hot. Place 4 or 5 english muffins in the pan, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on each side until they begin to brown. Repeat until all muffins have been cooked.
5. Slice, toast, and add tofu cream cheese or blackberry chia jam… Mangia!
