Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup + 1 teaspoon (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 8 tablespoons (113 g) unsalted butter (cold)
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (125 g) sourdough discard
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) white vinegar
  • ½ cup strawberry jam (see notes)
  • egg wash (1 egg lightly beaten)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Dough

Start by mixing your sourdough starter with flour and other ingredients until a dough forms. Knead it lightly until smooth and elastic.

Step 2: Chill the Dough

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least an hour. This helps to firm it up, making it easier to roll out later.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Ensure even thickness for uniform cooking.

Step 4: Cut Out Shapes

Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut the rolled dough into rectangles or squares for each pop tart. Aim for consistent sizes for even baking.

Step 5: Fill the Dough

Add your favorite filling onto half of the cut dough pieces. Be careful not to overfill, as this can cause them to burst during baking.

Step 6: Seal the Pop Tarts

Moisten the edges of the dough with water, then place the remaining dough pieces on top. Press down the edges with a fork to seal them well.

Step 7: Bake the Pop Tarts

Preheat the oven and place your pop tarts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8: Cool and Glaze

After baking, allow the pop tarts to cool slightly before applying a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for a sweet finish.

Notes

Tip 1: Use Fresh Ingredients

  • Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly for the best flavor and texture.
Tip 2: Experiment with Fillings
  • Don’t be afraid to try different fillings like jams, chocolate, or even savory options!
Tip 3: Adjust Baking Time
  • Keep an eye on the pop tarts towards the end of baking every oven is different, and you want them golden, not burnt.
Tip 4: Storage Tips
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness; they are best enjoyed within a few days.
