Instructions
- In a stand mixer with dough hook attached, mix 3 cups of flour with the salt.
- In a large measuring cup or small mixing bowl with a pouring spout, combine the sourdough starter, water, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- With the mixer running, slowly pour the starter mixture into the flour and salt mixture. Mix for about 1 minute or until a very wet dough forms.
- Slowly add additional flour, ¼ cup at a time, and allow to mix about 30 seconds after each addition. The dough should feel moist and almost sticky when ready.
- Oil a bowl with olive oil and place the dough in the bowl to rise for 8-12 hours.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and place on a lightly oiled counter. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces, and with oiled hands, form each piece into a ball. Let the dough balls rest for 1-2 hours.
- Heat a heavy cast iron over medium low heat. With oiled hands, gently press one ball of dough into a disk, then continue to turn and stretch the dough into a flat round.
- Place the dough round on the hot skillet and allow to cook on the first side for about 2 minutes, or until it no longer looks moist on top. Flip the bread over and cook an additional minute or so until spotted brown. Repeat with each dough ball.
- Place cooked flatbreads on a cooling rack and cover with a tea towel until all the flatbreads are finished. Enjoy!
