flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier, while vegetable oil is more affordable.

milk

🥗Healthier: plant-based milk

💰Cheaper: water

Plant-based milk can reduce dairy intake, while water is a cost-effective alternative.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: baking soda

Sourdough starter adds flavor, while baking soda is a quick leavening agent.

Activate the yeast by mixing 1/2 tablespoon of yeast and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar with warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the yeast mixture.

Add warm water little by little while mixing until a dough ball forms that is not wet or sticky.

Knead the dough on the kitchen counter for about 5 minutes until soft and elastic.

Cut the dough into four equal portions and knead each portion for about 1 minute, shaping them into smooth circular mounds.

Place the dough balls on a tray, cover them, and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Sprinkle flour on the working surface and flatten each dough ball into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.

Place the dough circles on a baking pan, cover them, and let them rest for 1 to 2 hours until they spring back when pressed.

Poke the dough in four to five places with a knife.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Place the breads in the center of the oven and bake for around 20 minutes, turning them if necessary, until golden brown.
