For the Filling
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
For Cooking

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix sourdough starter, flour, salt, water, and olive oil. Knead until a soft, smooth dough forms.
Step 2: Ferment
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 4–6 hours or until slightly puffy.
Step 3: Shape the Flatbreads
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle cheese evenly over the surface.
Roll or fold the dough to create layers, then gently flatten into a round shape.
Step 4: Final Rest
Allow the shaped dough to rest for 20–30 minutes.
Step 5: Cook
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Brush with butter while hot.
Step 6: Serve
Serve warm and enjoy the crispy layers and melted cheese.
