Description

Delicious breakfast pockets made with sourdough discard, offering a flaky crust and customizable savory fillings.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 large eggs (plus 1 for egg wash)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
  • 1 tbsp milk (mixed with 1 egg for the egg wash)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the two beaten eggs to the mixture and combine until a dough forms.
  5. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.
  6. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into circles or ovals.
  7. Add fillings of cheese and optional bacon or sausage to each dough round.
  8. Fold each piece over and crimp edges with a fork to seal.
  9. Brush tops with egg wash and cut slits into them.
  10. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
