Soft, Simple & Naturally Delicious

There’s something special about turning simple pantry ingredients into homemade bread. This sourdough flatbread is soft, flavorful, and the perfect way to use active sourdough starter or discard. With a short resting period to strengthen the dough, you get a beautiful texture without a complicated process.

Ingredients

• 280 grams all-purpose flour (about 2 cups)
• 240 grams active sourdough starter or sourdough discard (about 1 cup)
• 120 grams milk (½ cup)
• 4 grams baking powder (1 teaspoon)
• 6 grams salt (1 teaspoon)
• 15 grams olive oil (1 tablespoon)
• Extra olive oil for cooking

Instructions

1. Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sourdough starter or discard, milk, baking powder, salt, and olive oil.

Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead gently until everything comes together into a soft dough.

2. Rest & Strengthen

Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 3 hours. This resting time helps strengthen the dough, improves texture, and allows the sourdough flavor to develop.

3. Shape the Flatbread

After resting, divide the dough into equal portions.

Lightly flour your surface and roll each piece into a thin round flatbread.

4. Cook

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil.

Cook each flatbread for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.

Repeat with remaining dough, adding more olive oil as needed.

Serving Ideas

Serve warm with:

• Fresh herbs and olive oil
• Homemade dips
• Soups and stews
• Wrap fillings
• Garlic butter

Storage

Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container for a few days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in a warm skillet for that fresh-made texture.

Homemade sourdough flatbread is proof that simple ingredients can create something beautiful — soft, nourishing, and made right from your own kitchen.
