Ingredients (for approx. 10 toasties)
For the main dough
- 400 g wheat flour (type 550)
- 100 g active sourdough starter
- 10 g salt
- 5 g sugar
- 150 ml milk (lukewarm)
- 100 ml water (lukewarm)
- 25 g butter (soft, in small pieces)
For frying
- A little flour for dusting
- Neutral oil or butter for the pan
Preparation
1. Prepare and rest the dough
- Place flour, sourdough, salt, sugar, milk, and water in a bowl and knead into a smooth dough.
- Gradually knead in the butter until fully incorporated.
- Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature for 6-8 hours (or overnight in the refrigerator for even more flavor).
2. Shape and rest
- Place the dough on a floured surface and divide into 10 equal pieces.
- Form each piece into a ball, then flatten until it has the typical toastie shape (approx. 1.5 cm thick).
- Place the dough pieces on baking paper, cover with a cloth, and let them rest for 1 hour.
3. Fry the toasties
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil or butter.
- Place the toasties in the pan (not too many at once!) and cook for approx. 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- After baking, let them cool on a rack.
Tip: If they are still too soft, the toasties can be baked for 5-10 minutes at 180°C (top/bottom heat) in the oven.
