Sourdough Flatbread | Pita Bread
A quick recipe for sourdough flatbread, can be made with sourdough discard or active sourdough starter.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Starter or Discard
- 2¼ Cups Flour May need up to ¼ cup more if the dough feels too sticky
- 1 TBS Olive Oil
- ½ Cup Milk
- 1 tsp sugar or sweetener of choice
- ½ Cup water
- ½ tsp Garlic Salt or plain salt
- butter or olive oil for greasing the skillet
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a stand mixer using the dough hook. If you do not have a stand mixer, you can mix by hand and knead by hand as well. Grease a bowl and set the dough in a warm spot to rise for about 2 hours. The dough may not double in size but it should get fluffy.After the dough has risen, divide the dough into small balls. Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Roll the balls two or three at a time into a flat disk, about ¼" thick. Grease the pan or skillet with butter cook the flattened disks until it starts to bubble up, similar to what you look for on pancakes. When the bottom side gets nice and brown and when there are bubbles on top, you are ready to flip and cook on the other side. Just a few minutes for each side.Once both sides are brown and bubbly, your flatbread is ready! Enjoy!Note: For whatever reason, it seems that the first one I cook doesn't bubble as well as the following ones. Maybe the skillet isn't hot enough at first, I am telling you this so that if you have a similar situation, don't think you have failed, just keep going!
