🥖 Making English Muffins with Liquid Levain
The video begins with the host introducing a unique English muffin recipe made with liquid levain, a mixture of equal parts liquid and flour fermented with yeast. The process involves mixing lukewarm water or milk with flour and yeast, covering it, and allowing it to ferment for 90 minutes until bubbles and cracks form. An egg is then added to the mixture, followed by the remaining ingredients: flour, butter, and salt. The dough is mixed until it forms a ball and is divided into two portions, shaped into logs, and further divided into individual portions. The dough is then arranged on a floured surface, floured hands are used to brush off excess flour, and the muffins are left to proof in English muffin rings for 45 minutes. After proofing, semolina or cornmeal is sprinkled on top, and they are baked at 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 230 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes, followed by a few more minutes uncovered if necessary. The host encourages viewers to enjoy the episode and provides instructions on how to obtain the full recipe, as well as inviting them to follow on social media.

Highlights
Introducing the episode focusing on an English muffin recipe inspired by a dish made at the Hotel Ritz in Paris.
First step involves making a 'liquid lava' starter by mixing water, milk, flour, and yeast, and letting it ferment for 90 minutes.
The fermented starter helps improve the texture and flavor of the muffins.
The unique technique of the liquid leaven or 'polish dawn' adds an interesting twist to traditional muffin making.
Crack an egg directly into the dough mixture and combine with remaining ingredients like flour, butter, and salt.
Mix the dough on low speed initially, then increase speed and mix for about seven minutes until it forms a clean dough.
Shape the dough into two logs, each weighing around one pound, and divide them into 10 individual portions.
Rather than weighing each portion, it's recommended to shape and cut the dough quickly to maintain its live quality.
Arrange dough portions onto a floured surface, ensuring to flour hands and brush off any excess for better shaping.
Place dough rounds into greased English muffin or tart rings to help shape them while proofing for 45 minutes.
Before baking, sprinkle semolina or cornmeal on top of the muffins for texture and flavor.
Cover muffins with parchment paper and a baking tray, then bake at 450°F (230°C) for about 15 minutes.
Finish the baking uncovered for a few extra minutes to achieve the desired golden-brown color.
