Sourdough Tortillas

Below is the recipe that will guide you through the process of making these flavorful tortillas.

Ingredients

1 cup sourdough starter (discard or active)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for rolling)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Gradually add the water and olive oil (or melted butter), mixing until a dough begins to form. You may need to adjust the water based on your starter’s hydration and the flour.
Once the dough has come together, knead it on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
You can cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 10-15 minutes, allowing the gluten to relax.
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it slightly.
Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Make sure to dust the surface with flour to prevent sticking.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one tortilla in the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds or until small bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30 seconds until it’s lightly browned and cooked through. Repeat the process for each tortilla, stacking them on a plate and covering with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Serve your freshly made sourdough tortillas warm, enjoying them with your favorite fillings or sides.

These sourdough tortillas are not only versatile but also a fantastic way to use leftover starter, minimizing waste and enhancing your meals with a homemade touch. Enjoy experimenting with different fillings and accompany your tortillas with fresh salsa, guacamole, or cheese for a delicious feast!
