- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Filling & Seasoning
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
- Rest the Dough: Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes to relax the gluten and improve texture.
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is fully heated before baking.
- Roll Out the Dough: Roll the rested dough into a rectangular shape on a floured surface, approximately 12×8 inches.
- Season the Surface: Evenly sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper over the rolled dough to infuse flavor.
- Add Cheese and Pepperoni: Layer the shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices evenly over the seasoned dough rectangle.
- Form the Rolls: Starting at one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape, then slice into 1-inch thick rolls.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the individual rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and serve warm. They are delicious on their own or paired with marinara sauce for dipping.
