Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 75 grams Sourdough Discard
  • 150 grams AP Flour
  • 5 grams Salt Kosher is best
  • 30 grams Yogurt Firm greek is best
  • 30 grams neutral oil
  • 5 grams sugar
  • 15 grams Warm Water To "feel"
  • 25 gram Butter melted, unsalted for cooking
  • 6 grams Baking Soda

Instructions
 

  • Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl
  • Mix liquid ingredients in a bowl / large measuring cup
  • Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until a shaggy dough forms
  • The dough should feel soft but not sticky. Add more water or flour as needed to get the right feel.. See comments above
  • Rest dough covered one hour
  • Dump dough onto floured surface
  • Divide into 4 equal portions, (use the scale, luke) ~75 grams or so, but do the math
  • Roll out to approx 8", or smaller than your skillet. Thinner is more flexible like a tortilla, thicker is more puffy, like a pita bread
  • I use my cast iron skillet over medium heat, and cook one flat bread at a time
  • One side for 3-4 minutes, or until it puffs up, and has bubbles, thence brush lightly with melted butter and flip for 2-3 minutes

Notes

This is a very basic recipe, one can stuff with cooked onions, or include herbs, or spices.
Once you have this down, a whole world of flatbreads awaits
