Simple Sourdough Discard Flatbread for Any Occasion

Flatbread is a great addition to many dinners

I have made pizza, flatbread sandwiches, and more with it

Sourdough flatbread is also a nice snack by itself!

I really enjoy this recipe because it uses sourdough discard and is really easy

Does the flatbread taste very sour?

You can adjust the sour taste that you want

I waited about 4 hours for it to ferment and get more sour

But you don’t have to

You can cook the dough sooner so there is less sourdough flavor

Or you can let it rest on the counter for 3-5 hours to increase the flavor

You can even put it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours to let it long ferment and have a strong flavor!

What can I use to cook the flatbread?

After the dough is made and it is time to fry, you have some options

I use Olive Oil, but you can also use:

• Butter
• Coconut oil
• Vegetable oil
• Avocado oil
• Ghee
• Sesame seed oil
• Any other cooking oil or fat that you prefer

Ingredients:

2-3 cups of flour

1 cup sourdough discard

½ cup milk

¼ cup yogurt

1 tsp baking powder

Pinch of salt

Olive oil or other oil for cooking

Instructions:

Use a mixer or a bread whisk to combine all the ingredients except the olive oil

I like to lightly coat my measuring cups with oil before measuring the sourdough discard so it doesn’t stick

Mix until you have a smooth, sticky dough 

You should still be able to handle it, but it will be sticky

Coat a bowl in oil, add the dough, cover, and rest for at least an hour

The longer you let it ferment, the more sour it will taste

When the fermenting is done, heat your pan and about a tbsp of olive oil

Coat your counters with flour and press small pieces of dough into flatbread shapes

Cook each side for about 30 seconds or until it is golden brown on both sides

Try not to coat the dough too much in flour or it will fall off and get heavy in the pan

Place cooked flatbread on a plate or paper towel

Add more oil if needed and repeat until the dough is gone
