“This is a melt-in-your-mouth platform for heavenly flavors like garlic, cheese and herbs.”
Ingredients:
1 c / 230 g recently fed sourdough starter
2 1/2 c / 325 g bread flour
1/2 c / 117 g water (room temperature)
1/3 c / 70 g olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
Directions:
Mix all ingredients by hand in a large bowl. Let sit covered at room temperature for 4 hours. Either shape and cook or refrigerate in a Ziplock bag and use within 24 hours.
To shape:
Tear off golf-ball sized rounds and roll out on a lightly floured surface. Let rise for 4-8 hours at room temperature, covered.
Preheat a heavy skillet (cast-iron is best) till very hot. Stretch the dough carefully to enlarge it. You want to gently stretch the dough. Don't use a rolling pin as it will destroy all the beautiful bubbles. Cook about 10 seconds per side, till no longer raw in the center.
Optional: top with olive oil, salt, fresh rosemary, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, etc.
Enjoy immediately.
