# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
02 -
1/4 cup sourdough starter
03 -
1 tablespoon sugar
04 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
05 -
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
06 -
2–3 tablespoons cold water
→ Filling
07 -
Jam or jelly of choice
→ Glaze
08 -
1 cup powdered sugar
09 -
2–3 tablespoons milk
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Combine flour, sourdough starter, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Incorporate cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water gradually until dough forms. Knead briefly for smoothness. Wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
02 -
Roll chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into squares. Place jam on half of each square, fold over, and seal edges firmly with a fork.
03 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place pop tarts on parchment-lined sheet. Optional: brush tops with beaten egg for golden finish. Bake for 10-12 minutes until puffed and golden.
04 -
Whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth and pourable.
05 -
After cooling, drizzle glaze over pop tarts. Allow glaze to set before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use cold butter and water to ensure flaky texture. Chilling dough prevents shrinking. Brushing with egg creates a shiny crust but can be omitted for a rustic look. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
