What is the best way to store homemade english muffins?

English muffins can be stored either in the fridge or in your pantry. These will keep for about a week. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container or zip-sealed bag.

Do these english muffins freeze well?

These english muffins freeze very well! I suggest slicing them before you freeze them, for easy thawing. Store them in a sealed container and they will keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Can I make these without sourdough starter?

Unfortunately, no. There are many English muffins that use active dry yeast or instant yeast, but this particular recipe needs a sourdough starter to work.

Can I use this recipe as a sourdough discard recipe?

Absolutely, but it just takes a bit of planning! Consider the activated starter at the end of the day the discard you'd be discarding the next day, and scale feeding your starter in the morning accordingly. So, for example, if you normally discard about 100 grams of starter in the morning, plan to mix the dough the night before when your starter is activated, that way, there's no waste!

These wonderful little breakfast (or anytime) breads are naturally leavened and oh-so easy to make. You don’t need to babysit them, you don’t have to plan your whole day around them. You just mix them at night, let them proof in the fridge overnight, and then toast them up the next morning! All of the gluten development happens overnight, and the shaping process is a breeze, so if you’re a beginner baker (or even just a lazy-but-experienced one), these English Muffins are a great recipe to have in your back pocket.
