Ingredients
 

  • 1 Cup Sourdough Starter
  • ¾ Cup Water
  • ¼ Cup Oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Avocado Oil or Coconut Oil
  • 1 ½ tsp Salt
  • 3 Cups Plain Flour

Instructions
 

  • Add the sourdough starter, water, oil, flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Fit the dough hook and knead the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes.
    This process can also be done by hand. Mix the ingredients together in a bowl and knead by hand for about 5 minutes, until the ingredients are blended and the dough has gained some elasticity.

  • Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • For the long-fermented version, place the dough in the fridge for up to 2 days. This is the best option for those that are gluten intolerant.
    For the quick version, let the dough rest in the bowl for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • When ready, cut the dough into 16 equal pieces.
