Homemade sourdough stromboli is an easy sourdough discard recipe. It is made from dough that is rolled out and filled with a variety of meats and cheeses and then baked to be similar to a hot sandwich. It is great hot or cold, and can be filled with a variety of fillings. Excellent for meals during busy seasons of life, and great to have in the freezer for back to school lunches or meals on the go.
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine milk, sourdough starter, butter, sugar and eggs. Mix well using the dough hook attachment.
2. Add salt, flour, baking soda and baking powder. Mix for 5-7 minutes. You can do the windowpane test by slowly stretching the dough upwards to see if it stays together and if you can see through it similar to a window.
3. Wrap ball of dough in plastic wrap or place in an airtight bowl and allow to ferment at room temperature overnight, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
4. When you’re ready to bake the sourdough stromboli, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
5. Brown sausage or hamburger if using any.
6. Roll dough into approximately a 16-inch rectangle on parchment paper (see video below).
7. Place meats/cheeses, mushrooms, mustard, sausage etc. down the center of dough.
8. Fold each side of the dough over the top of the meat/cheese mixture and seal the edges.
9. Transfer dough using parchment paper onto a baking sheet or use a pizza peel and transfer to a preheated pizza stone.
10. In a small bowl, beat one egg and coat the top of the dough with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
11. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a light golden brown.
12. Slice using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
13. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping and a side salad for a delicious and healthy meal.
