Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve yeast in 3 cups warm water in
a large bowl. Add all-purpose and whole
wheat flours; mix with your fingertips
until a shaggy dough forms. Cover bowl
with plastic wrap and let rest at room
temperature for 20 minutes.

Sprinkle salt over dough, then add
sour cream; knead until well incorporated
and dough pulls away from sides of bowl
and holds together in a loose, wet ball,
about 5 minutes (dough will be very soft
and wet; lightly moisten your hands to
prevent sticking if needed). Cover bowl
with plastic wrap and let dough rise at room
temperature for 30 minutes.

Knead dough an additional 4-5 times
to deflate. Cover and chill for up to 2 days.
(Dough will develop in flavor and continue
to rise slowly in refrigerator.) Alternatively,
let dough stand at room temperature until
doubled in volume, 3-4 hours (the warmer
and more humid your kitchen is, the faster
it will rise). Chill for 1 hour before grilling to
make it easier to handle.

Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill,
or heat a gas grill to high. Divide dough into
8 equal portions. Generously flour a work
surface. Working with 1 or 2 portions at a
time (depending on how many flatbreads
will fit on your grill), roll out dough or press
with your hands into a 1/4"-thick shape. (It
doesn't have to be perfectly round.)

Brush grill rack with oil. Grill flatbreads
until lightly charred on one side and no
longer sticking to grill, 2-3 minutes. Using
tongs, turn flatbreads and grill until cooked
through, 1-2 minutes longer. Add desired
toppings and serve warm.
