Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthier.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining moisture.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: baking soda

Sourdough adds flavor and natural fermentation.

Mix the all-purpose flour with 1-2 tablespoons for dusting, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add warm water to the mixture and stir until combined.

Knead the dough until smooth, about 10 minutes.

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

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into rounds.

Roll each round into a flat disc, about 1 cm thick.

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

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
