Sourdough Tortillas

Print
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Resting Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 10 Medium Tortillas

Ingredients

  • Cups Water
  • 180 Grams Sourdough discard
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
  • Cups Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Sea salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine your water, discard and olive oil, stir well. Sprinkle on top of the wet ingredients your flour, sea salt and sugar. Using your fingers, stir your dry ingredients gently on the top and then start to combine your wet and dry ingredients together. This may be quite sticky but that is okay! We will have a rest period here which will help the dough reduce stickiness and stay uniform.
  2. Once the dough is combined in the bowl, cover with a damp towel and knead again after 15-30 minutes. I like to do this on a non-floured counter until the dough is glossy and not too sticky at all. Then cover again with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Divide your dough into 10 equal pieces, shape into balls and again cover for another 30 minutes on the counter.
  4. Ready to cook these!
  5. I use either a non-stick pan or my cast iron for this on a medium heat. These cook fast, so be attentive! If they over cook, they get crispy and we want soft tortillas!
  6. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll your dough piece thin. I make my tortillas about 9"-10". Use lots of flour on the counter and on top of the dough if it really starts sticking. Take your tortillas and place it on the hot pan and cook until it bubbles. Flip and continue to cook the other side. When finished cooking each tortilla, place on a plate under a very damp towel. This will stop it from drying out!
  7. Repeat to all your dough and eat warm!
  8. These keep in the fridge for a week and reheat beautifully.
