Description
Deliciously flaky Sourdough Pop Tarts filled with savory mushrooms and herbs, perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 100 g sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 200 g cold butter, cubed
- 10 g salt
- 150–200 ml cold water
- 1 egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)
- 300 g mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or oyster)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 2 tbsp butter (for filling)
- Fresh thyme (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Splash of soy sauce (for umami)
- For sweet filling: 200 g jam, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp sugar or honey, and a pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Grate cold butter into the flour or cut into cubes until resembling coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the sourdough starter and add cold water, adjusting by feel, until the dough comes together but remains slightly shaggy.
- Shape into a flat disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- For the filling, clean and slice mushrooms. Sauté shallot and garlic in butter until softened, then add mushrooms and cook until browned; finish with thyme, soy sauce, and let cool.
- Roll the chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into rectangles about 4×3 inches.
- Spoon filling onto half of the rectangles, brush edges with beaten egg, top with remaining rectangles, and crimp to seal.
- Chill assembled pop tarts for 10–15 minutes, then brush tops with egg wash and prick for steam holes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (205°C) for 18–22 minutes until golden brown. Let rest before serving.
Notes
Cool hot fillings before encasing them to avoid soggy crusts. For extra crispness, broil briefly after baking.
