Description

Sourdough Discard Italian Stromboli is a flavorful rolled bread filled with classic Italian meats, cheeses, and seasonings, using sourdough discard to add tang and reduce waste. It’s a hearty, customizable dish perfect for lunch, dinner, or entertaining.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed, room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 oz sliced salami
  • 4 oz sliced pepperoni
  • 4 oz sliced ham
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Marinara sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix sourdough discard, warm water, yeast, sugar, flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead until a soft dough forms, about 8–10 minutes.
  2. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours or until doubled in size.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
  5. Layer salami, pepperoni, and ham evenly over the dough, leaving a border.
  6. Sprinkle with mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
  7. Carefully roll the dough lengthwise into a log, tucking in the sides. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
  8. Brush with beaten egg for a golden crust. Optionally, cut small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
  9. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  10. Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with marinara sauce if desired.

Notes

  • You can customize fillings with veggies or different cheeses.
  • Make it ahead and refrigerate before baking for convenience.
