Ingredients
- 150 grams sourdough starter
- 150 grams warm milk
- 100 grams plain yogurt, thick*
- 300 grams bread flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 7 grams salt
- 60 grams melted butter (for basting)
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together the sourdough starter, milk and yogurt until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir to combine.
- Knead just a little until a rough dough ball forms.
- Cover the bowl with a plate or damp cloth and let the dough rise for 4-6 hours. If your house is warmer, this could take less time. If your house is colder, it may take more time. The dough should almost double in size.
- Lightly sprinkle four over the dough and dump the dough onto a lightly floured counter.
- Preheat a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape into little dough balls.
- Pull and press out each piece into about 1/4″ thickness. It should look like a mini pizza crust. If the dough sticks to your hands just add a small sprinkle of more flour.
- Brush one side with melted butter and place butter-side down on the skillet.
- Cook for about a minute or two, or until the dough starts to bubble and release from the skillet.
- Brush the other side with melted butter then flip.
- Cook for an additional minute or two.
- Transfer to a plate and cover with a cloth to keep warm.
- Repeat with remaining pieces of dough and Enjoy!
Notes
*if your yogurt is thin and not thick, reduce the amount of milk in the dough slightly.
