Soaked English Muffins

A delicious soaked English muffin recipe made from real food ingredients.
Prep Time10 mins
Resting Time20 mins

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of white whole wheat flour ideally freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp. sucanat
  • 1 3/4 cups of raw milk
  • 3 tsp. yeast
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. sea salt

Instructions

  • The night before, mix together the flour, sucanat, and milk.  Stir it up; it will be a very wet dough, almost like a thick batter.
  • In the morning, add the remaining ingredients.  Stir together well, and set aside for about two hours to rise. Alternately, if you don't want to do the soaking step, mix 1 1/2 cups milk (instead of 1 3/4) and mix all ingredients at once.  Follow the recipe from here, setting aside the dough to rise!
  • Punch the dough and turn it onto a well-floured surface.  Knead very briefly, then separate into 8 - 12 small balls.
  • Shape each ball into a muffin, then cover and allow them to rest for about 20 minutes.  Make sure the surface is still well-floured, or they'll stick!
  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF and a frying pan on medium-high heat.  When the muffins have rested, carefully lift and slip them into the pan, not crowding them.
  • Allow these to cook for 3 - 5 minutes until golden brown.  Flip them over and cook the other side.
  • They should puff up while you are doing this.  Transfer the browned muffins to a baking sheet.  When they are all done, bake for 20 - 25 minutes until they are done all the way through.
  • Allow the muffins to cool, then transfer to a bag to store on the counter or in the freezer.
