flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories and can be dairy-free.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is heart-healthy.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: baking powder

Sourdough adds flavor and can be made at home.

Mix flour, semolina, and salt in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the yeast mixture and milk to the flour mixture.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

Shape each portion into a round flatbread.

Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter or olive oil.

Let cool slightly before serving.
