Sourdough English Muffins (Vegan Sourdough Discard Recipe)

Step 1

Start by mixing the sourdough discard with 230 g vegan-friendly greek-style yoghurt, 80ml lukewarm water and 280 g of plain flour and set the mix aside lightly covered at room temperature. Let it rest overnight or for at least 8 hrs.

Step 2

The next day, the mix will have expanded and show bubbles as a sign of activity. Give it a stir and then add in 120g flour, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp of fine salt. Combine everything into a sticky dough - keep a container of water nearby to wet your hands and prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers whilst you're handling it.

Step 3

Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface to about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter (or a mason jar) to cut out the Sourdough English muffins. Transfer them to a non-stick baking sheet and allow for them to rest for 1 hour. Gently brush off any excess flour.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, once hot, place a few muffins into the pan at a time, giving them room to expand. Once the bottom edges begin to slightly brown, flip the muffins and heat for another 1-2 minutes until the sourdough muffins are golden on both sides.
