Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up a batch of these irresistible sourdough discard pizza rolls:

1 cup sourdough discard (unfed, from the fridge is fine)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp instant yeast (optional, for quicker rise)

1/2 cup warm water

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp sugar

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup chopped pepperoni or favorite toppings (optional)

1 tsp Italian seasoning

2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional, for topping)

How to Make Sourdough Discard Pizza Rolls

Let’s dive in — and trust me, once you make these once, you’ll find any excuse to whip up another batch!

Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine sourdough discard, warm water, sugar, olive oil, and yeast (if using). Stir in flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth.

Cover and let rise at room temp for 2–4 hours or until puffy. For a slower rise and deeper flavor, refrigerate overnight.

Step 2: Roll and Fill
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 10×14 inches). Spread with pizza sauce, sprinkle cheese evenly, then scatter on your toppings. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top.

Step 3: Roll Up and Slice
Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge, like a cinnamon roll. Slice into 10–12 even pieces and place cut-side up in a greased baking dish.

Step 4: Let Them Rise
Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until slightly puffy. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan if using.
