I used the recipe from Tartine Bread. I had to modify because I didn’t have any of that newfangled active dry yeast. I just used 20% active starter in that part of the recipe. Basically this proofed in some way (building the poolish and levaine/ bulk proofing) all day yesterday. It spent the night in the refrigerator. I pulled it about 1 1/2 hours before cooking this morning.
My wife said, “These are good! They taste like store bought.” I’ll take that as a compliment?
It’s important to cook them covered so they can steam as they cook. Use clarified butter so the butter fat solids don’t burn.
I cooked them 4 minutes per side on medium heat. Rotated 180 degrees after 2 minutes to brown them evenly.
The crumb was good.
I had a breakfast sandwich. They are my weakness.
Stay safe my friends.

I just had a big brunch but I could sure go for one of those breakfast sandwiches. Look perfect for the strawberry jam I just made.Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

The good news, I’m not thinking about kolaches any longer. The bad news, I’m fixated on a sourdough English muffin. I have a can of tuna and some pepper jack just waiting for one of those, toasted.

I know they had to smell better than store-bought!_____________Remember when teachers used to say 'You won't have a calculator everywhere you go'? Well, we showed them.

@Botch They did smell good. And if I didn’t learn anything else - cooking them in clarified butter was the way to go.Coleman, Texas

@SciAggie, those look amazing. Great job on them. My mouth was watering looking at them cooking in your cast iron.

Exceptional.Does making muffins of this caliber earn you the title of “stud muffin?” Asking for a friend.
