Ingredients

Scale
  • 125 g active sourdough starter (½ cup)
  • 58 g whole milk (¼ cup)
  • 235 g water (1 cup)
  • 20 g honey or sugar (1 tbsp)
  • 10 g sea salt (2 tsp)
  • 438 g bread flour (3½ cups)
  • 28 g unsalted butter (2 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, whole milk, water, honey (or sugar), and sea salt until well mixed.
  2. Gradually add the bread flour and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Use your hands to bring it together.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 2 hours).
  5. After rising, punch down the dough gently, divide it into eight equal pieces, and shape each into round muffins. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Cover with a clean towel and let them rise again until puffy (about 1 hour).
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the muffins for about 24 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  8. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before slicing.
