Sourdough FlatbreadSourdough can often be more easily digested by those who have trouble consuming other breads as it involves a slow, natural fermentation process. According to the Heritage founders, “the fermentation process makes it easier to digest by breaking down gluten and providing the good tummy bacteria, a natural probiotic if you will. I love baking with sourdough because of the health benefits and flavor profile.”how to make Sourdough Flatbread

Sourdough Flatbread Pizzas
Makes 2 to 4 small flatbreads

Ingredients:

1/2 cup recently hydrated sourdough starter (here’s how)
1 tsp salt
2 ½ cups flour
1 cup water

Directions:

Mix together sourdough starter, sea salt and water. Add 2 ½ cups of flour. Knead dough for about 5 to 8 minutes, adding more flour, a little at a time if needed. The amount of flour needed will depend on the hydration level of the sourdough starter — the flour-to-water ratios used when feeding the starter.

Allow the dough to rest covered for at least 6 to 8 hours, or overnight. When ready to make, preheat the oven to 450°F.

Divide dough into 2 to 4 balls.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough. Transfer to a pizza stone or cookie sheet.

Bake the crust for approximately 6 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven. Add desired toppings and bake until the crust browns and the cheese melts (if using). About 6 to 8 more minutes.
