Soft and Foldable Sourdough Tortillas

Stretch and Folds

When I’ve got a jar of sourdough discard hanging out in the fridge, I’m always thinking of a simple way to use it up—and these sourdough tortillas are what I end up making.

They’re soft, flexible, and hold together without tearing, fold beautifully around fillings, and taste so much better than the ones in a plastic bag.

ingredients:

– sourdough discard – warm water – oil – all-purpose flour

STEP 1

In a large bowl, stir together the sourdough discard, warm water, and oil until smooth. Add the flour and salt, then mix with a spoon or your hands until the dough starts to come together.

Knead briefly until it’s soft and smooth. It shouldn’t stick to your fingers.

STEP 2

STEP 3

Cover the dough with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature.

STEP 4

After resting, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Each piece should weigh about 75 grams for medium tortillas. Roll each piece into a ball.

STEP 5

Lightly flour your countertop and rolling pin. Roll each ball into a thin circle.
