English muffins inspired by browndog's baking
Hi,
Today I prepared English muffins for the first time in my life. Oh, My. God. So good. Why do people say that English food is bland? These little breads are out of this world!
This was also the very first recipe I am testing from Rose Levy Beranbaum's BIG book on breads. I followed the recipe steps exactly. Ingredients were all the same as hers, but I had to make these muffins sourdough, like browndog's muffins. So I instead of 1 tsp of instant yeast that Rose L.B. lists in the ingredients I leavened the dough with a tablespoon of sourdough sponge left over from baking pain au levain.
Many thanks to browndog for inspiration! Thank you.
