Categories: Pizza/Flatbread

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. warm water
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup whole buttermilk
  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • Flaked sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, stir together 2 tbsp. warm water and yeast. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, kosher salt, baking powder and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in yeast mixture just until combined. Gradually stir in buttermilk. Gently knead by hand if needed just until a dough forms. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

  3. Line rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

  4. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and pat to 3/4-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut dough, gently re-patting scraps as necessary. Place 2 to 3 inches apart on prepared pans. Cover and let stand in a warm, draft-free place until puffed, 30-45 minutes.

  5. Preheat oven to 425.

  6. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with sea salt.
