Ingredients
1/2 cup (100 g) sourdough starter (levain) (active)
1 tablespoon (20 g) honey (sugar or maple syrup can be substituted)
1 cup (240 g) milk
3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon (5 g) fine sea salt
1/4 cup (40 g) cornmeal (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Prepare sourdough starter in advance: You will need to prepare the starter before you begin mixing the dough. To a clean jar add 12g starter + 50g water + 50g flour and let rise until doubled. Depending on the temperature of your kitchen and the maturity of your starter, this can take anywhere from 4-12 hours. *See notes.
The night before cooking
Add all of the ingredients (except corn meal) to a large bowl and use your hands to mix until well combined. Cover and let rest 30-60 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead the dough for 5 minutes.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover and let ferment on the counter at room temperature 10-14 hours. (Room temperature is 65-70°)
The next morning
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, flour the top of the dough and press it out using your fingertips until it is 1/2" in thickness.
Use a 3" biscuit cutter to cut rounds and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet that's been sprinkled with cornmeal. Sprinkle the tops with cornmeal, cover with a tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
Preheat your non-stick skillet over LOW heat. Place 4 muffins into the skillet spaced 2" apart, cover and cook the first side for 4 minutes. Turn the muffins over and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
Notes
The "levain" is the amount of active starter we prepare to mix into the dough.
A stand mixer with a dough hook attachment can be used to knead to the dough. Mix on lowest speed for 5 minutes.
Make sure to cook the muffins over very low heat.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
Store at room temperature for up to 5 days in a container.
