Recipe
Makes 16 muffins
Ingredients
Starter:
2 cups (500 mL) lukewarm water
2 2/3 cups (400 g) bread flour
1 ¼ tsp (5 g) dry instant yeast
1 tsp (6 g) honey
Dough:
4 cups (600 g) bread flour
2 Tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 ¼ cup (310 mL) lukewarm water
1cup + 2 Tbsp (300 g) starter
2 ¼ tsp (1 pkg) (8 g) instant dry yeast
1 Tbsp (15 g) salt
1 Tbsp (12 g) sugar
cornmeal, for sprinkling
Directions
1. Prepare the starter 12 to 24 hours ahead of making the dough. In a mixing bowl, stir the water, flour, yeast and honey together using a wooden spoon until blended (the mixture will be soft and stretchy). Cover (leave lots of space for the bubbles to grow) and leave on the counter to rise for a day. It will make more than you need for this recipe, but once the muffins are made, you can add more flour & water and keep the starter going – it will improve over time (and needs feeding every other day) and should be stored in the fridge after the first 2 days.
2. For the dough, place the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment and add the butter. Use a pastry cutter to work in the butter by hand, until pieces of butter are no longer visible.
3. Add the water, starter, yeast, salt and sugar and mix the dough on low speed until blended and continue to mix on low speed for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit on the counter for about an hour, until doubled in size.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll it out with a rolling pin (sprinkling with flour as needed) to just over ½-inch (12 mm) thick. Use a 3 ¼- 3 ½ -inch (8 - 8.5cm) round cookie cutter to cut out circles. Sprinkle a parchment-lined baking tray with cornmeal and place the muffins on the tray. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with cornmeal, cover with a tea towel and let rest 20 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Heat a griddle pan over medium high heat and grease lightly. Griddle the muffins (don’t overcrowd the pan – you may have to do this in batches) 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Once all the muffins are griddled, bake them for about 10 minutes, until browned a little further. Cool the muffins for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.
The muffins can be enjoyed the day they are made, or they can be toasted the next day. To serve, use a fork to split the muffin in half before toasting.
Eggs Benedict with Avocado Hollandaise
Serves 4
Ingredients
Avocado “Hollandaise:
1 ripe avocado
½ cup (125 mL) water
½ cup (125 mL) Greek Yoghurt
¼ cup (60 mL) vegetable oil
2 Tbsp (30 mL) lime juice
salt & pepper to taste
Eggs & Assembly:
4 English Muffins, split and toasted
8 slices ripe tomatoes
1 Tbsp (15 mL) white vinegar
8 eggs
2 Tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh chives
salt & pepper
1. For the “hollandaise”, puree the avocado with the water, yoghurt, oil and lime juice in a blender on high speed until creamy and smooth. Season to taste and set aside until ready to serve (only chill if making ahead of time.)
2. Arrange the toasted English muffins (buttered, if you wish) on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and place a tomato slice on each. Hold the tray in a 300 F (150 C) oven to keep warm while preparing the eggs.
3. For the poached eggs, bring a medium saucepan filled with water to just below a simmer (you should see bubbles forming at the bottom of the pot, but not breaking the surface of the water). Add the vinegar. Break an egg, one at a time, into a small dish. Give the water a stir to create a swirling motion and then drop the egg in close to the centre of the pot – the swirling motion will help shape the poached egg nicely. You can add up to 4 eggs in one poaching session, but add them one at a time. Poach the eggs to the desired doneness (2 to 4 minutes) and lift them out with a slotted spoon and place each onto an English muffin. Put the tray back in the oven to keep warm while finishing the eggs.
4. To serve, arrange 2 muffins on each plate and spoon the avocado “hollandaise” overtop. Sprinkle the dish with chives and a little salt & pepper and serve immediately.

English Muffins | Recipe for Super Fluffy English Muffins
Tried to find English muffins in the store recently and couldn't so I decided to make my own. This recipe will give you super thick and fluffy English muffins that are perfect for breakfast and brunch. If you haven't ever made your own at home, take the extra time and try it out. The difference in flavour versus the store bought English muffins in ridiculous. The light bubbly interior and crispy polenta laden crust is perfect for eggs Benedict, jam, clotted cream and whatever else you want to slather on them for breakfast or lunch.
Recipe:
7 g instant yeast
170 ml cold milk
15 g sugar
6 g salt
300 g bread flour
20 g butter (for bow)
Mixture of 50% flour 50% polenta for dusting (about 1/2 cup or 125 ml)
Polenta for lining pan and top of muffins.
Homemade English Muffins are SO much better than storebought
You won't believe just how much better these English Muffins are than storebought. So darn moist and chewy, almost crumpet-like on the inside. Tons of nooks and crannies to soak up all the butter and jam. Makes for the perfect breakfast sandwich. Forget about Egg McMuffins! Make this recipe for yourself and level up your breakfast game.
English Muffins
Ingredients
- 325mL water, room temperature
- 167g (3/4 cup) Greek yogurt, room temperature
- 40g (3 tbsp) oil
- 3/4 tsp (3g) instant yeast (sub: 1 tsp active dry yeast)
- 560g (4 cups) AP flour
- 1 1/2 tsp (10g) fine sea salt
- 28g (2 tbsp) sugar
- 2-3 cups cornmeal, for dusting (sub coarse semolina)
Make Dough
1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together water and Greek yogurt. It’s okay if some lumps remain. Add in oil and instant yeast, followed by flour. Finally, add salt and sugar on top of the flour.
2. Use a spatula to stir the dough together until it has mostly come together then switch to hands. Lightly knead together until no dry flour remains. Work out any hard lumps of dry flour. The dough will still be pretty rough at this point.
3. Cover and rest 30 minutes.
Stretch & Fold (x3)
1. Perform “Stretch & Fold #1”: use wet hands to grab one side of the dough from against the bowl and stretch the dough up gently until it resists pulling but doesn’t tear. Fold the stretched dough over the rest of the dough. Rotate the bowl 90 degrees and repeat 3 more times going all the way around the bowl. Cover and rest 30 minutes.
2. Repeat the previous step two more times, totalling 3 sets of “Stretch & Folds” over 90 minutes. The dough should become smooth and stretchy.
3. After the last set of folds, cover and rest for 1 hour at room temperature. Then, place in the fridge.
Cold Proof
1. Rest dough in fridge for 10 hours minimum, up to 48 hours.
Shape & Second Proof
1. When ready to cook English Muffins, prepare a half sheet pan by generously dusting with cornmeal. Take rested dough out of the fridge. From this point, work quickly to shape the muffins because cold dough is less sticky and easier to work with.
2. Scrape dough onto the counter and divide into 12 equal portions.
3. Using damp hands to prevent sticking, shape each portion of dough by patting out, turning over, pinching together, turning over again, and rolling with cupped hands into a smooth ball. Place dough balls onto cornmeal lined tray (in a 3x4 grid), leaving 2” between each dough ball.
4. Dust cornmeal over the tops of all the dough balls. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Proof in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours, until the dough balls are puffed up and about doubled in size.
Cook Muffins
1. Pre-heat a 12” non-stick skillet over medium-low heat for 3 minutes.
2. Cook 4 muffins at a time. Transfer dough balls to the skillet with 2 spatulas, using the cornmeal to prevent dough sticking to the spatulas. Once the dough is in the pan, give each dough ball a few firm smacks with a spatula to slightly flatten out.
3. Cover with a lid and cook until the bottoms are lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Halfway through, remove the lid and gently rotate the muffins with hands or spatulas for even cooking. Replace the lid and keep cooking.
4. When the bottoms are lightly golden, use spatulas to flip over each muffin. Once flipped, give each a few more smacks with a spatula.
5. Keep cooking, with lid off, until the other side is also lightly golden, about 6 minutes, rotating half way.
6. When both sides are evenly golden brown and the muffins have been in the skillet for ~12 minutes total, check for doneness by taking internal temperature which should be at least 200F (93C). Transfer to a wire rack to cool then move on to the next batch.
7. Let muffins cool for at least 15 minutes on the tray. Then, split in half by poking all the way around the circumference of a muffin with a fork, then pulling the two perforated halves apart. Toast until crispy and spread with lots of butter. Enjoy!
- Leftover muffins should be split in half, then put back together, sealed tightly, and frozen. When ready to eat, pull out frozen muffin and divide the two halves. Cook in a toaster until golden and crisp, which may take slightly longer than usual. They’ll taste as good as if they were fresh!
