- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- Coarse sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sourdough starter, flour, sugar, and melted butter until a sticky dough forms.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ½ inch thick.
- Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the rolled-out dough.

- Place each piece vertically in the greased muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

- You can substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruits for a different flavor.
- Adding spices like cinnamon or vanilla can enhance the taste.
- For perfect results, ensure the dough is well-proofed before baking.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- An egg wash can be used for a golden sheen, though not included in this specific recipe.
