Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 8 pieces

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for rolling
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard unfed discard works great
  • 1/4 cup whole milk Greek yogurt full-fat recommended
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp melted butter for finishing

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in sourdough discard, Greek yogurt, water, and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Switch to your hands and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky — add a tiny dusting of flour if too sticky.
  3. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces, shape into discs, cover with a towel, and rest 10 minutes.
  4. Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over high heat until very hot. Roll each disc to 1/4-inch thick and place in the dry pan.
  5. Cook 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until puffed with golden charred spots. Immediately brush with melted butter. Stack and keep warm under foil while finishing the rest.
