Quick and Easy Sourdough Flatbread Ingredients

Flour – I use bread flour, but you can use all-purpose if needed.

Salt

Sourdough Starter – Of course. You can use discard or active starter.

Olive oil – For cooking and adding to the dough

Spices – I used black pepper, garlic powder, and parsley. Use whatever spices you feel called to!

Water – To make the dough come together.

How to Make Quick and Easy Sourdough Flatbread

Add flour and salt to a bowl and set aside.

Next, add sourdough starter, olive oil, and your spices to the mixing bowl.

Using the dough hook, keep your mixer on a low setting and wait until the wet ingredients and spices are combined.

While the mixer is on a low setting, gradually add the flour and salt mixer. The dough will start to come together, but some flour will stick to the sides of the bowl.

When you see this, start gradually adding the water until the dough starts to come together.

Once the dough has come together let it rest of 5 – 10 minutes.

On a floured surface, take a knife or a bench scraper and cut the ball of dough into 8 pieces.

Heat up large pan on medium heat with a little olive oil.

Roll out your dough while your pan is pre-heating. Tip – If your dough isn’t stretching out as much as you’d like, let it rest and then try rolling it out again.

Cook your flatbread for 1 – 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

This quick and easy sourdough flatbread is best served warm. Enjoy!
