Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin )
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose or whole wheat
Instructions
- 1
Add the sourdough starter, water, oil, salt, and flour to a mixer with a dough hook.
- 2
Knead for 2-3 minutes in a mixer, or 5 minutes by hand. The ingredients should be fully incorporated, and the dough slightly elastic.
- 3
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap, and allow to sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours. (If you are gluten intolerant, 24 hours is better.)
- 4
The next day, divide the dough into 12 equal parts.
- 5
On a lightly floured work surface, roll each ball of dough out to about a 1/4 inch thickness. Get them as thin as you can, without them falling apart.
- 6
Cook them in a preheated cast iron skillet in a little coconut oil. One minute on each side is sufficient.
