Description
Delicious and savory breakfast pockets made with sourdough discard, filled with sautéed mushrooms, cheese, and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 to 1 1/4 cups sourdough discard
- 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 3/4 cup warm milk or water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for skillet finishing
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- Filling options: sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar or Swiss, chopped herbs
- Optional add-ins: a dash of Dijon mustard, grated nutmeg, flaky sea salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix warm milk (or water) with melted butter and egg, then whisk in the sourdough discard until smooth.
- Add flour, baking powder, and salt; stir until the dough comes together. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest for 30–60 minutes.
- For the filling, sauté mushrooms in a skillet until browned, remove from pan.
- Cook bacon or sausage if using, then sauté onions until caramelized.
- Whisk eggs, scramble over low heat, then add cheese, herbs, and cooled fillings.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
- Divide dough into 8–10 pieces, roll each into a round, and fill with 2–3 tablespoons of the filling.
- Fold and crimp edges to seal, then brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds or salt.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown, brushing with butter before serving.
Notes
Keep fillings cool before assembly to prevent sogginess. Freeze excess pockets after flash-freezing on a tray.
