Description

Warm, salty bites made with leftover sourdough starter, perfect for a quick snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (discard)
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Mix the sourdough starter, warm water, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

  5. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  6. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda.
  7. Divide the dough into small pieces and shape them into bites.
  8. Boil each bite for about thirty seconds, then move them to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Sprinkle the bites with flaky sea salt.
  10. Bake for ten to twelve minutes until they turn golden brown.

Notes

Keep the bites small for even cooking. Dust with flour if the dough is sticky. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
