Long Fermented Sourdough - Part 1

Pesto Flat Bread

Currently I’m playing around with yeast rise times at different temperatures. Having a lot of carrot top pesto left I tried to combine them and ended up with this flat bread snack. Pretty delicious and for sure just the first version I made. Different toppings and sourdough variants are things I want to try in the nearish future.
