Ingredients

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 cups sourdough starter Adds tang, natural leavening, and depth of flavor.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure and a tender crumb.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances overall flavor and balances the tang of the starter.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Boosts savory flavor with convenience.
Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Melts beautifully for a gooey center.
  • 1 cup diced pepperoni Delivers classic pizza flavor and a pleasing texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Adds an herby, aromatic finish.
For Baking
  • Olive oil for brushing Helps create a golden, crisp exterior.
  • Marinara sauce for dipping Complements the filling with bright tomato flavor.

Method

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the sourdough starter, flour, salt, and garlic powder until combined. Use a spoon to bring the mixture together gently.
  2. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  3. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled in size. Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assembly
  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces (about the size of a golf ball).
  2. Flatten each piece and place a small amount of mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning in the center.
  3. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, ensuring no gaps are present.
  4. Place the filled dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced an inch apart.
  5. Brush the tops with olive oil.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  2. After baking, let cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
