Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups active sourdough starter Ensure it's bubbly and active
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup For sweetness
  • 0.5 cup warm water
  • Cornmeal For dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix the active sourdough starter, warm water, honey (or agave), all-purpose flour, and whole-wheat flour until it forms a sticky dough.
  2. Divide the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth but still slightly stretchy.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  4. After the first rise, punch down the dough, turn it out onto a floured surface, roll to about 1-inch thick, and cut into rounds using a cookie cutter or a glass.
  5. Place each round on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Cover them loosely with the towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the muffins for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Let the muffins cool on a wire rack, then enjoy them toasted or with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For gluten-free options, consider using gluten-free flour blends. Ensure your sourdough starter is active before starting for the best results. Store muffins in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
