Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cups sourdough starter discard 110g
  • 0.25 cups olive oil 54g
  • 0.33 cups water 80g
  • 1.67 cups all purpose flour 210g
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt 4g

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix the sourdough discard, olive oil and water. Stir to combine.
  • Add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until the dough is formed. Knead for 1 to 2 minutes, just until everything is well combined and dough looks homogeneous, with no dry spots.
  • Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a large skillet on high heat.
  • Flour lightly the surface you’re opening the dough. Divide the dough into 8 to 10 pieces. Flatten each ball with the palm of your hand.
  • Roll open each piece of dough into a circle, using a rolling pin or a wine bottle. The tortillas should be rolled thin (about ¼ inch thickness), and will look almost see-through.
  • Cook individually on high heat for about 1 minute on each side. Flip it as soon as bubbles appear and the edges look firm: the tortilla should have nice brown spots.
  • Allow them to cool before storing into an airtight container. Serve them warm.

Notes

Tortillas keep for 3 to 5 days outside the fridge. To freeze, wait for them to cool. Use a ziplock bag or airtight container, and separate each tortilla with wax or parchment paper. The recipe can be made with active sourdough as well: it won't change the final result.
