Dairy Free Whole Wheat Sourdough English Muffins

These English muffins are the kind of weekend project that makes your whole kitchen smell incredible — earthy, tangy, and just a little sweet from the honey. The dough comes together with whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, olive oil, and an active sourdough starter, so every ingredient is naturally free of dairy without any substitutions or workarounds needed. That long, slow overnight ferment does the heavy lifting, building deep flavor and the signature tang that store-bought versions can never quite replicate. Pressing the risen dough by hand rather than rolling it out is the secret move here — it protects all those gas bubbles that become the legendary nooks and crannies once the muffins hit the griddle. Cooking them low and slow on a dry cast iron skillet gives each side a beautifully deep golden crust with a soft, chewy interior. Splitting them with a fork instead of a knife tears the crumb open just right, so every pocket catches whatever you pile on top. Whether you go savory with eggs and avocado or sweet with jam, these are genuinely hard to stop eating.
