Sourdough Biscuits (or Feta Spinach Chicken Sourdough Roli)

So I had some spinach that was getting old, and some feta. I decided to make a variation of my previous Broccoli Chicken Roli with spinach and feta -- AND using a sourdough biscuit dough.

Biscuit Ingredients:

• 1 cups all-purpose flour (or white whole wheat)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup butter (diced or grated w/ box grater)
• 1 cup sourdough starter (8 ounces, what you would remove when feeding starter)

  Roli Filling Ingredients:

• 2 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat (2 six ounce chicken breasts, or so)
• 1/2 cup chopped onion, lightly sautéed
• 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, lightly sautéed (any color, red looks pretty 
• 2 cups spinach  (saluted lightly, at end of cooking onion)
• (optional - 1 cup broccoli - steamed lightly) 
• 1 cup marinated artichokes, diced
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup feta, crumbled
• 2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil

 

 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F 
2. Cover large cookie sheet with a sheet of parchment paper
      
3. Make the biscuits: In a food processor, whir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 
4. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. 
5. Mix in sourdough starter until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. 
6. Dump dough onto a floured surface, and fold over about 10 times.
7. Roll out about 3/16” thick. Cut into 16 triangles (to mimic biscuits from a can)
    
8. Make the filling: Mix together the chicken, spinach, onions, bell pepper, cheese, and spices.
     
9. Assemble: Place a large glass upside down in the center of the cookie sheet. 
10. Spread out biscuit triangles around the base of the glass, with pointy ends away from the glass (will look like a sun flower)
11. Spoon the chicken mixture onto the thick part of each biscuit piece. 
12. Fold the pointy end of each biscuit piece over the top of the chicken mixture and tuck in towards the center. 
13. Remove glass from cookie sheet. 
14. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until roll is golden brown
    

Carole's Notes:

I think this was much better than the broccoli version - feta and spinach and oregano - oh my!

The biscuit recipe is lightly adapted from here: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/buttery-sourdough-sandwich-biscuits-recipe
Some day I will try these as biscuits...
