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

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Method
 

  1. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl
  2. Mix liquid ingredients in a bowl / large measuring cup
  3. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until a shaggy dough forms
  4. The dough should feel soft but not sticky. Add more water or flour as needed to get the right feel.. See comments above
  5. Rest dough covered one hour
  6. Dump dough onto floured surface
  7. Divide into 4 equal portions, (use the scale, luke) ~75 grams or so, but do the math
  8. 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
  9. I use my cast iron skillet over medium heat, and cook one flat bread at a time
  10. 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
