  • Author: Naomi
  • Total Time: 20 min

Description

A quick and satisfying way to use up your sourdough discard, these soft and chewy flatbreads are perfect as a side for soups, stews, or as a base for wraps and pizzas. With just a few pantry staples, you can turn discard into something delicious in under 30 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed, at room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)

Instructions

1️⃣ Mix the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine sourdough discard, olive oil, and flour. Stir with a spoon until a sticky dough forms.

2️⃣ Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly (about 1–2 minutes) until smooth and no longer sticky. Add a little extra flour if needed.

3️⃣ Rest the dough: Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Let them rest for 10–15 minutes covered with a towel.

4️⃣ Shape the flatbreads: Roll each ball into a thin round (about 1/8 inch thick) using a rolling pin on a floured surface.

5️⃣ Heat the pan: Warm a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface.

6️⃣ Cook the flatbreads: Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and it’s cooked through.

7️⃣ Serve or store: Remove from the pan and serve warm. You can also store them in an airtight container for later use.

Notes

  • You can flavor these with herbs or garlic powder in the dough for added taste.

  • Great as a quick pizza base—just add toppings and bake!
