Just one way to help use up your discard or unfed sourdough starter.
Use pretzel salt and parmesan cheese as a topping, and serve with a tomato paste dip. Yum.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup lukewarm water
- 1 cup unfed sourdough starter
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup dry milk powder
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 1 1/2 tsps. salt
- 2 tsps. dry active yeast
- Topping:
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 2 tbsps. water
- pretzel salt (or other coarse salt of your choice)
- parmesan cheese powder (optional)
- 2 tbsps. melted butter (optional)
Method
Step 1
Mix all ingredients (except topping). This can be done in a bread machine if you prefer. Dough should be slightly sticky. Add up to 2 tbsps. water if dough is too dry.
Step 2
Cover and leave on counter 45 minutes.
Step 3
Turn dough onto a greased surface. Fold dough several times.
Step 4
Divide into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into long "logs" (about 18") and shape into something resembling a pretzel lol. (as you can see in the picture, I need practise!) Arrange on 2 baking sheets.
Step 5
Mix your water and sugar (for topping) and brush tops. Sprinkle salt and parmesan (if using).
Step 6
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes or until light golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter (optional).
