Sourdough flatbreads are a great way to use up your discard. And if like me you enjoy snacking, these are perfect. All you need is a variety of dips, such as hummus or guacamole.
Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Sourdough Flatbreads ♥
During the day, and especially in winter, I like to snack. Small, frequent morsels of deliciousness keep me happy. Also, I am lazy during the week and can see no reason for elaborate breakfasts and lunches. In my drawer at work there is always an easy to eat snack of some sort. I keep dried fruit rolls and seed and nut bars. In our office kitchen I have matzah and peanut butter. A firm favourite of mine. Made even better when topped with cheese. And add Bovril to that it becomes the perfect bite. Don’t mock it until you have tried it. And take it to the next level with pickled cucumber. Weird, I know, but yummy to me. On the odd occasion I will buy salami sticks to nibble. But I have very little self control when it comes to them so I don’t purchase them often.

I also steer away from crisps which is a huge weakness of mine. I am always on the lookout for new snacks and I tend to buy them without reading the ingredient list. Especially when they are savoury treats. But I should know better as I have had to give away pretzels that were sugar laden and too sweet to be enjoyable. Yesterday I bought two packs of coconut crisps. I opened one this morning and grabbed a few to snack on while I was replying to emails. They were so tasty, but surprisingly sweet. And then I flipped the packet over and read the ingredients – coconut, salt and sugar. The ‘blurb’ on the front mentions high in fibre and preservative free. But upon looking at the nutritional information it should say high in sugar. The sugar levels per serving are 11.55g and the fibre is only 2.8g!

Do you snack during the day, and what is your weirdest combination of ingredients?
We are always looking for new ways to use up the discard. This sounds good!
be well… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Hope you enjoy these Mae 🙂
What is discard.. 😉
The starter you would throw out after feeding 🙂
I would have stopped with the peanut butter and matzah…
And it is eye opening what you discover when you read nutrition labels…
It’s scary what they put into some things!
Tandy, I make flatbread often and make a yogurt flatbread and a discard starter flatbread, but I’ve never put the two of them together. I must give this a try…
Hope you enjoy them Ron 🙂
This looks great, Tandy. I guess I have to get around to making the starter first though.
Sadly yes – but it is not that difficult and I can post you some dried one to start off with 🙂
