flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat option.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining moisture.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: baking powder

Sourdough adds flavor and is a natural leavening agent.

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

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

Combine yeast mixture with flour mixture and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes.

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

Preheat a traditional clay oven (tone) or a conventional oven to 450°F (230°C).

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into oval discs.

Sprinkle cornmeal on the baking surface to prevent sticking.

Place the discs in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove the bread from the oven and brush with melted butter.

Let cool slightly before serving.
