How To Make Sourdough English Muffins

January 4, 2023 by Maggie Leave a Comment

Here you will learn how to make sourdough english muffins, one of my (and my family’s) most favorite sourdough recipes to make and eat. This recipe calls for an active sourdough starter. If you do not already have a sourdough starter, you can purchase a dehydrated one here. You’ll be ready to bake with it in a few days.

Rehydrating them with this simple process will wake them up and allow them to thrive so you can get your baking on!
