Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard (unfed)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt)
Dusting:
- All-purpose flour (as needed for dusting)
Instructions
- Gather sourdough discard, yogurt, and flour in a mixing vessel, incorporating salt, garlic, and herbs for enhanced flavor profile. Blend ingredients thoroughly until a cohesive, pliable dough emerges, adjusting flour quantity if the mixture appears overly moist.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and gently manipulate with fingertips, working the mixture for approximately 90 seconds until achieving a smooth, uniform consistency. Allow the dough to relax and settle for a brief 5-10 minute interval.
- Partition the rested dough into 4-6 equivalent portions. Using a rolling implement, transform each segment into a delicate, translucent round or elongated shape, aiming for a gossamer-thin thickness approximating ⅛ inch.
- Activate a dry skillet over moderate to high thermal intensity. Carefully position each flatbread into the heated surface, monitoring closely as golden-brown hues develop and characteristic bubbles effortlessly rise across the delicate canvas. Flip and repeat cooking process, ensuring balanced, crisp exterior on both sides.
Notes
- Flour flexibility matters when creating the perfect texture; swap all-purpose with whole wheat or gluten-free blends for diverse dietary needs.
- Temperature control is crucial for achieving golden-brown surfaces without burning; medium-high heat ensures crispy exterior and soft interior.
- Rest time allows gluten to relax, making dough easier to roll and preventing tough flatbreads.
- Experiment with additional herbs like rosemary, thyme, or za’atar to elevate flavor profiles and create unique variations.
