Make English Muffins With Sourdough Starter Discard
This Sourdough english muffins recipe is the perfect way to use your sourdough discard from a starter. I hate throwing out food (or rather, composting it!)- so I’m always looking for ways to resuse kitchen scraps to cut back on waste. Instead of tossing your discard when you feed your sourdough starter, try this awesome recipe instead. I have a whole page on my site for recipes that use sourdough discard. That way you can add a hint of sourdough flavor to your baked goods, and cut back on food waste.
What’s In Vegan Sourdough English Muffins?
- Sourdough Starter Discard: you can buy sourdough starter here, or I have a great guide on how to make your own in one week!
- Granulated Sugar: I like this organic sugar for my recipes, it has a really nice texture in these cookies, I’d recommend Anthony’s organic sugar for baking.
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Almond Milk: you can use any variety that you would drink. I prefer almond milk, which Silk has a shelf-stable version that lasts up to a year in the pantry!
- All Purpose Flour: I normally use King Arthur organic all purpose flour for all my baking recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt. It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
- Corn Meal: to get that signature texture on the outside of the muffins. I love adding cornmeal to my breads as they start their second rise… corn meal has such a nice texture and makes these english muffins look super professional!

How Do I Make Overnight Sourdough English Muffins?
- The night before, mix all ingredients except for the corn meal in a large bowl. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is well combined into a dense dough. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm place overnight, for 8 hours.
- Once dough has risen, flour a cutting board. Roll the dough out on the cutting board to 1/2 inch thick. Using a glass or measuring cup, cut even circles for each english muffin. Take excess dough, knead together, roll out, and cut again until there is no more dough left. Mine made 10 english muffins.
- Dip each side of an English muffin into the corn meal, then place on a sheet pan. Cover the muffins and allow them to rise for another hour, until they’ve doubled in size.
- To cook, heat a cast iron skillet over low heat. Make sure it’s nice and hot. Place 4 or 5 english muffins in the pan, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on each side until they begin to brown. Repeat until all muffins have been cooked.
- Slice, toast, and add tofu cream cheese or blackberry chia jam… Mangia!
