Servings 4 large flatbreads

Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 ¼ cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup flour, plus about â…“ cup for rolling
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil, plus more for cooking

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine discard, flour, baking powder, salt and oil and mix until a sticky dough forms
  • Lightly sprinkle a large work surface with flour and turn out the dough
  • Knead for 3-4 minutes or until the dough is smooth and no longer sticking to your hands
  • Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat (if using a non-stick skillet, no extra oil is needed but 1-2 tbsp extra oil will be needed for cast iron or other skillets)
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll out to about â…“-½ an inch thick, sprinkling more flour as needed if the dough sticks to your rolling pin
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side (depending on thickness), or until the dough bubbles and there are deep golden brown spots on the bottom
  • Flip and cook for another minute or until the bubbles are browned (see Note 1)
  • Transfer cooked flatbreads to a plate and repeat with remaining dough rounds
  • Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 6 months

Notes

Note 1: The flatbread will almost be fully cooked through when flipped so you just need to cook the surface a little.
Note 2: This flatbread freezes beautifully, so you can easily make a double or triple batch of this and freeze them. Thaw one or two flatbreads at a time so you always have some on hand.
