milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

yeast

💰Cheaper: sourdough starter

Sourdough starter can be a natural leavening agent, reducing the need for commercial yeast.

Mix salt and flour in a bowl and make a well in the center.

Add yeast, sugar, and a little bit of water to the well and mix together.

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until foamy.

Bring the flour into the mixture to form a shaggy dough.

Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll each into a small circle.

Sprinkle the rolled dough with flour and cover with a tea towel to let rise for about an hour.

Bake the risen dough in a hot oven on a hot tray until puffed and slightly golden on the bottom.
