preparation

  1. Prepare the dough the day before. Mix the sourdough, 150 ml cold water and wheat flour type 1050. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 12 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. Dissolve yeast in 200 ml of lukewarm water. Knead the pre-dough, wheat flour type 405, salt and oil in a bowl with the kneading hook on the hand mixer for 5 minutes to a smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into quarters and form flat cakes (approx. 16 cm in diameter) with your hands.

  4. Heat clarified butter in a large pan. Bake the flatbreads one after the other on medium heat for 8-10 minutes each until golden brown.

How do you eat flatbread? Tasty toppings

After you have baked the small flatbreads in the pan, you can use them as you like. They taste good on their own, with soup, with yogurt dip or garlic marinade.

But you can also easily fill flatbread. Let your imagination run wild: How about a fresh tomato and cucumber salsa, for example. Or top the flatbreads like a pizza and gratinate them again briefly in the oven. Ingredients such as zucchini, tomatoes, hot salami, olives, mushrooms, etc. are suitable for this.

Or try our eggplant topping:
