English Muffins you just can’t find a more perfect breakfast bread other than Sourdough of course! These muffins are soft and squishy and perfect when lightly toasted and served with any form of eggs my favourite are poached paired with smoked salmon but `I have to say that is a bit of a novelty and doesn’t happen on a regular basis! I loved making these muffins and will definitely be making them again so easy and quick to make and can be getting on with baking or doing other things whilst they are rising.
