Homemade Sourdough Pop Tarts With Jam Filling
This recipe is a love letter to those childhood mornings, but with a grown-up twist. It uses all the deliciousness of a classic Pop-Tart, with a flaky, buttery crust made from leftover sourdough discard (don't toss that gold!), and endless possibilities for fillings.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sourdough starter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
For the Filling:
- Your favorite jam jelly, or other filling
- For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Make the Dough: Combine flour, sourdough starter, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add enough cold water (about 2-3 tablespoons) to form a dough. Knead briefly, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll Out and Fill: Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into squares. Place filling on half of each square, fold over, and seal edges with a fork.
- Bake: Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Make the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle glaze over cooled pop-tarts.
