Sourdough Discard Flour Tortillas

Ingredients

  • 420 grams (3 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 10 grams (2 teaspoons) salt
  • 70 grams (5 tablespoons) butter, softened
  • 180 grams (3/4 cup) water, heated to 120F
  • 180 grams (3/4 cup) sourdough discard or active starter

Directions

  • Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Chop the softened butter into the flour and crumble it between your fingers to a sand-like texture.
  • Heat the water, mix it with the sourdough discard or starter, then pour into the flour and combine until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead with the dough hook on low for 5 minutes (or by hand for 5-7 minutes) until a soft, smooth ball forms.
  • Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces (about 50 grams each) and shape into balls. Cover with a damp tea towel.
  • Let the dough balls rest at least 20 minutes (longer is fine) so they roll out easily.
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Roll each ball out on a lightly floured surface to about a 10-inch circle.
  • Cook about 20-40 seconds until it starts to bubble, then flip and cook another 10-15 seconds.
  • Remove and wrap in a kitchen towel until ready to serve.
