Ingredients:

275g strong white flour

100g sourdough starter

200g water

50g olive oil

6g salt

Method

Make the dough by kneading all the ingredients (minus the oil) in a free standing mixer. 

Once the dough is strong and elastic add the oil and work again.

Divide the dough in 6 to 8 portions and shape them into a tight ball. Place the dough balls in an oiled tupperware and put them in the fridge for abut 12 hours (overnight will do). The dough keeps in the fridge for a couple of days.

In the morning, heat up the oven to 250C, with an oven tray placed in the middle rack.

Roll a couple of the balls into an oval shape, about 4 mm thick. 

Slide them onto the hot tray.

Bake for about three to five minutes each, until they’ve puffed up like a pillow and are barely coloured.
