Sourdough Tortillas
Learn how to make homemade sourdough tortillas with this easy recipe! These are great for burritos, breakfast burritos, or as a simple flatbread to accompany other dishes.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sourdough starter
Instructions
- Add flour and salt to a large mixing bowl, and stir.
- Add the coconut oil to the flour and salt mixture, and use a fork or a pastry cutter to combine until small pea-sized lumps appear. Add water and sourdough starter and mix together well, until dough comes together in a ball.
- Cover bowl and allow to sit at room temperature for 8-12 hours.
- The next day, or when you're ready to make the tortillas, divide the dough into 12 pieces. Form each piece into a ball and put them back into the bowl.
- Grease a griddle or large skillet with a bit of oil, and preheat on medium heat.
- Lightly flour a clean surface, and roll out a ball of dough as thin as possible (about 1/8"-1/4"" thick).
- Put the tortilla onto the hot griddle or skillet, and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Once it's done on both sides, put it on a plate lined with a clean tea towel, and cover with a second towel to keep warm.
- Repeat the above steps with each ball of dough, until all tortillas have been cooked.
- Serve immediately, while still warm, or allow to cool and store in an airtight container. May be frozen in a plastic zipper bag to use later.
