There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Tangy Skillet Flatbreads (naan-ish) - Testing

1 - Still not fully satisfied. The warm bread was still too doughy (I think I need to make it even thinner) and it had a very floral taste. I'll see what it's like when it's cold.

Commons Bread recipe (your choice) WITHOUT the yeast and AFTER it has sat for 12-24 hours.
Add:
3–5 g instant yeast (¾–1¼ tsp) (optional but recommended)
60–100 g all-purpose flour (for structure)
10–15 g oil or melted butter (optional, for softness)
OPTIONAL - herbs of your choice, fresh or dry
  1. Sprinkle yeast over your dough, mix well.
  2. Add 60 g flour first, mix, then add more only if still very loose.
  3. You’re aiming for a soft, slightly tacky dough, not sticky batter.
  4. Cover and rest 45–60 minutes. It won’t double — just a bit of puff is enough.
  5. Turn onto a floured surface.
  6. Divide into 8–10 pieces (~90–110 g each).
  7. To shape, gently flatten and roll thin (3–5 mm).
  8. Don’t overwork — the dough will be a bit relaxed/fragile.
  9. In a hot dry pan (cast iron ideal), cook 1–2 min per side until bubbles form, and brown spots appear.
  10. To finish, brush with butter or oil and sprinkle with salt and or herbs
