Here’s a simple recipe for sourdough tortillas that you can easily make at home!
Sourdough Tortillas Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup active sourdough starter (fed and bubbly)
- 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, water, oil, and salt. Mix until combined.
- Gradually add the flour, stirring until a dough forms. You may need to adjust the water or flour for the right consistency.
- Knead the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Rest the Dough:
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps to relax the gluten.
- Divide and Roll:
- Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle (about 6-8 inches in diameter).
- Cook the Tortillas:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until brown spots form and the tortilla is cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
- Keep Warm:
- Stack the cooked tortillas on a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Enjoy!
