-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup active 100% hydration starter
1 cup water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
The night before you want to bake, mix together the water and starter.
Once the started is dissolved in the water, stir in flour.
Cover and let sit overnight (7 - 10 hours).
The next morning, the stuff in the bowl should be very bubbly and
stretchy. Stir in baking soda, salt, white sugar.
Use a sturdy spoon to stir vigorously - it will be difficult (it's a
good workout!).
About 2 tbsp at a time, gradually stir in flour. Incorporate the
flour until the dough loses its stickiness.
Turn it out onto a floured surface, roll it out to about 1/2" thick,
and cut into rounds with a floured cutter.
Transfer each round to a baking sheet covered in cornmeal immediately
after cutting it out, otherwise the edges of the cut dough will stick
back together again. Sprinkle the rounds with more cornmeal, cover
with a tea towel, and let rest for about 45 minutes, until they are puffy.
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until very hot,
then reduce the heat to about medium. Cook the English muffins on one
side for about 5 minutes, until they are look tightly puffy, dry
around the edges, and medium golden brown on the bottom. Flip and
cook for another 5 minutes or so, until browned. When they are done,
they should sound hollow if you tap them with your finger.
Cool completely on a rack before storing in an airtight container. To
serve, split with a fork and toast lightly.
