Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter discard Use active sourdough starter discard.
  • 1/4 cup olive oil Can substitute with avocado or sunflower oil.
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 2/3 cup flour Can use all-purpose or whole wheat flour.
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Method

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, olive oil, and water until well combined.
  • Add the flour and sea salt, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Knead with a KitchenAid Stand Mixer or by hand.

Stretch and Fold

  • Perform one set of stretch and folds by pulling one side of the dough up and over, folding back onto itself. Rotate and repeat for all sides.
  • Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Shape the Dough

  • Divide the dough into eight evenly sized pieces.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a round tortilla shape as thin as possible.
  • Place parchment paper between each rolled tortilla to avoid sticking.

Cook the Tortillas

  • Heat a skillet or pan over medium/low heat.
  • Cook each tortilla for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form on top.
  • Keep the heat low to prevent burning.

Serve or Store

  • Serve the tortillas immediately, or cool before storing in the fridge or freezer.
