Sourdough Discard Tortillas

These Sourdough Discard Tortillas are better than any other homemade tortilla you've ever made. Soft and made with active or discard starter and a few other ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup active or discard starter
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

Instructions

  • In a mixer, or by hand, combine all ingredients except the flour. Add flour and mix until the sides of the bowl are clean and a ball forms. This may take slightly more or less flour than listed.
  • Put the dough in a bowl and cover tightly. Put the bowl in the fridge for 4 hours and up to3 days.
  • Bring the dough out of the fridge and let come to room temperature (an hour or so).
  • Separate into 6 pieces (about 2 ounces each), roll into balls and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Use a tortilla press or roll the dough out into circles. If the dough bounces back as it is being rolled out, let it rest for 15-20 minutes and roll again.
  • Cook the tortillas on a hot skillet for about 1 minute per side and serve hot.

Notes

This recipe can easily be doubled. These also freeze well, just lay the tortillas on a baking sheet and freeze individually for an hour. Stack the tortillas and freeze in a bag until ready to use!
