Ingredients
- 200 g sourdough discard
- 40 g hot water
- 150 g all purpose flour
- 50 g olive oil
- 3/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix together oil, sourdough discard, and salt in a bowl. Mix in flour and then gradually add the hot water, mixing until the dough starts to come together. You may need to adjust the amount of water slightly, depending on your environment and the flour.
- Stretch & fold the dough a couple of times in the bowl, lightly kneading and shaping it into a ball. The dough should be a bit sticky but if it feels too sticky, you can add a little more flour. Cover and let the dough rest for about 45min.
- Divide the dough out into 8 equal pieces. Shape into balls, cover and let rest for 15min.
- Heat up a pan on medium high heat. Dust a work surface with flour and roll out the balls into thin disks about 8-10 inches in diameter and place it on the heated pan. Once you start seeing the tortillas expand with air, flip and cook the other side.
- Transfer to a kitchen towel and cover while you make the rest of the tortillas to prevent it from drying out.
