Description

Small, baked pockets filled with pizza ingredients using sourdough dough.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup warm water (approximate)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Mix the sourdough starter, flour, and salt in a bowl. Add warm water slowly until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small circle, about 4 inches wide.
  5. Place a spoonful of pizza sauce, a sprinkle of cheese, and a few pieces of pepperoni in the center of each dough circle.
  6. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges tightly to seal.
  7. Place the sealed bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.
  8. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

  • Use leftover sourdough discard if you do not have an active starter, but you may need to add 1/4 teaspoon of instant yeast for better rise.
  • You can substitute your favorite pizza toppings.
  • Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
