Ingredients
- ½ cup warm water
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup sourdough starter can be flat to active
- 2-2 ½ cup flour
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese any type of cheese will work
- 8-10 pepperoni sticks cut to about 4 inches.
Instructions
- In a sauce pan or in the microwave, heat your water until it is warm to the touch.
- In your mixing bowl, add water, milk, olive oil & sugar. Mix well
- Add your sourdough discard, and mix.
- Next, add 2 cups of your flour & salt.
- Work until a shaggy dough forms.
- Dump dough out onto a clean floured work surface, and knead. Adding in more flour as needed, if the dough is too sticky.
- Once you have kneaded for a couple of minutes, and dough has become smooth, place dough into lightly oiled bowl.
- Cover bowl and allow to proof for 4-6 hours, in a warm spot. This timeline will vary depending on the state of the sourdough starter you used. If it was flat discard, you will want to leave it for 6 hours, if it was active and bubbly you can shorten the proof closer to 4 hours.
- Once dough has been left for 4-6 hours, preheat your oven to 350℉.
- Grate 1 cup of cheese, and get pepperoni sticks ready (I like using about 4" sticks)
- Take dough out of your bowl, and roll it out, into a rectangle. You want it to be about 1/2 inch thick.
- Evenly space pepperoni sticks on dough, and cut dough into rectangle around each pepperoni stick, leaving enough dough so that you can roll it around the stick.
- Place them on a baking tray, and top with cheese. I like to press the cheese onto them a bit so that it stays in place.
- Bake for about 15-17 minutes, until they start to lightly golden on the edges.
- Cool & enjoy!
