Lactose Free Whole Wheat Sourdough English Muffins

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling apart a homemade English muffin and watching all those irregular nooks and crannies reveal themselves. This whole wheat version gets its signature tang from a long, slow overnight ferment with an active sourdough starter, so the flavor is genuinely complex without any added dairy whatsoever. The entire dough comes together with just a handful of pantry staples — whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, honey, olive oil, and salt — making it naturally free of milk, butter, and cream at every stage. That matters because store-bought English muffins often sneak in milk solids or whey, and scanning every label gets old fast. Here, you control exactly what goes in. The griddle-cooking method does all the heavy lifting for texture: a dry cast iron skillet over medium-low heat gives each muffin a deeply golden crust while the interior stays soft and airy. Fork-splitting rather than slicing is the move that keeps those pockets intact, ready to catch whatever you pile on top.
