Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour 440g
1 cup sourdough starter active or discard will work (240g discard)
1/2 cup water 125 g
2 tbs oil olive or avocado preferably.
1/2 tsp salt
Oil for cooking

Instructions

In a stand mixer with a dough hook or large bowl, add flour, sourdough starter, water, oil and salt.
Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is nice and stretchy.
Put dough into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a tight fitting lid, plastic wrap, or beeswax wraps.
Place in a warm spot for 8-24 hours.
The Next Day: preheat skillets to medium heat.
Remove the dough from the bowl and divide the dough into 10-12 even sized balls.
Roll out or pat and stretch each individual ball into a rectangle about 1/4-1/2″ thick.
Brush flatbreads with a little oil and place into a lightly oiled skillet.
Allow to cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. The dough will get bubbly and should char a bit.
Place on a plate and serve.
