Description
A golden, savory rolled stromboli made with sourdough discard, melted mozzarella and provolone, and classic Italian meats, perfect for feeding a crowd and using up excess starter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 cup thinly sliced ham
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together sourdough discard, warm water, yeast, sugar, flour, salt, and olive oil until a dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rest for 1 hour or until slightly puffy.
- Assemble the Dish: Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Layer mozzarella, provolone, pepperoni, and ham evenly over the dough, then sprinkle Italian seasoning.
- Cook to Perfection: Roll up tightly from the long side, pinch the seams to seal, place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and score the top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes so the cheese sets and slices hold their shape.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice into 1-inch pieces and serve warm with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy rolling and transfer.
- Pat vegetables or deli meats dry to avoid excess moisture that can make the dough soggy.
- Do not overfill the dough to prevent tearing and leaking.
- Allow the stromboli to rest before slicing to keep the cheese from oozing out.
