Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/3 cup active sourdough starter This is the magic ingredient that gives the flatbread its unique flavor and texture.
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour Essential for building that perfect bread structure.
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar Adds a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors.
- 1 tsp salt Vital for enhancing taste.
- 3 tbsp Greek yogurt, sour cream, or ricotta cheese Provides richness and moisture to the dough.
- 2 tbsp olive oil Brings richness and a subtle flavor.
- 1/2 cup whole milk Helps achieve a perfect dough consistency.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and whole milk. Mix until no dry streaks remain.
- If the dough feels too wet, adjust its consistency by gradually adding more flour until manageable.
- Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and let it rest in a warm spot for about 8 hours or until it has doubled in size.
- Once mixed, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces, shaping each into a ball.
Cooking
- Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Roll each dough ball into a flat disk about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook the flatbread in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until bubbles begin to form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Transfer the cooked flatbread to a wire rack and repeat with the remaining dough.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Consider adding herbs such as rosemary or thyme for added flavor. Keep an eye on flatbread while cooking; they can burn quickly once they begin to turn golden.
