Smoked Gouda and Chives Sourdough Muffins
Hi everyone. I thought I'd share this recipe I adapted from one in
"Bob's Red Mill Baking Book." They turned out pretty awesome. I use
mainly whole wheat flours (and a starter that's been trained a bit on
whole wheat, but I imagine you could use regular unbleached white
flour).
Smoked Gouda and Chives Sourdough Muffins
(makes 12 muffins)
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup active sourdough starter
1 1/2 cups warm buttermilk
2 eggs beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups of grated smoked gouda cheese
2-3 tablespoons (to taste) of chopped fresh chives
In a large bowl, mix thoroughly together the cheese, warm buttermilk,
chives, eggs, honey, vegetable oil, salt, chopped fresh chives, and
the sourdough starter. Add the flours and stir just to moisten the
ingredients. Do not over-stir.
Cover the lumpy batter and let rise at room temperature overnight or
for approximately 12 hours. The batter should be at least doubled by
the time you are ready to bake them.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup or two 6 cup
muffin tins or line with paper muffin tin liners. Spoon the batter
into the prepared muffin tins and bake 15-20 minutes until a tester
comes out clean. I bake mine on a convection bake oven, and they seem
to take about 15-16 minutes until they are done.
Enjoy!
