1 tbsp honey
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup cornmeal (for dusting)

2. Stir in flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms; rest 30 mins.
3. Fold in cheddar and scallions with stretch and folds.
4. Ferment overnight at room temperature (8–12 hours).
5. Pat dough 1-inch thick on cornmeal and cut into rounds.

7. Griddle on a cast-iron skillet over low-medium heat.
8. Cook 5–7 mins per side until internal temp is 200°F.
Notes
Use active starter for best rise; discard works too.
Always fork-split to preserve nooks and crannies.
