What it is
These are round, yeast-leavened flatbreads, typically made with flour, water, and salt. The sourdough process involves a fermented starter, which gives them a characteristic tangy flavor and a slightly chewy texture. They are often pre-sliced, making them convenient for toasting and topping. This version is made without animal products, aligning with plant-based dietary choices.
