Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g (3.5 oz) sourdough discard
  • 150g (1 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) lukewarm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional herbs or spices: dried oregano, garlic powder, chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine 100g sourdough discard, 150g all-purpose flour, 60ml lukewarm water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl. Stir until a shaggy dough forms (about 5 minutes).
  2. Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if too sticky but keep slightly tacky.
  3. Cover the dough with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll or pat each into a 6-7 inch (15-18 cm) round about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Optionally sprinkle herbs or seeds on top and press gently.
  5. Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes until hot.
  6. Cook one flatbread in the skillet for about 2 minutes until bubbles form and bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Adjust heat as needed.
  7. Repeat with remaining dough portions. Stack cooked flatbreads on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm.

Notes

Do not skip the resting step to keep dough tender. Heat skillet well before cooking for best crust. If flatbreads puff too much, gently press down with spatula. Experiment with herbs, spices, or seeds on top before cooking. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and adjust water as needed.
