Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 1 cup Sourdough Discard Avoid using active starter to prevent overly wet dough.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Feel free to substitute with a gluten-free blend.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter or Oil Use for frying the dough, or swap with baking spray.
Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded; can substitute with mozzarella or pepper jack.
  • 3 large Eggs Scrambled before adding to the mix.
  • 1/2 cup Bacon or Sausage (optional) Replace with cooked veggies for a vegetarian option.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • skillet
  • Rolling Pin
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper

Method
 

Preparing the Pockets
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine your sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Stir until a soft dough forms, then allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the filling.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs until just set, about 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a bowl.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and, if using, crispy bacon or cooked sausage. Mix well to combine.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the rested dough to about ¼ inch thick. Cut the dough into squares, roughly 4x4 inches each.
  6. Place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center of each square, then fold the dough over and press to seal the edges tightly.
  7. Arrange the filled pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
