Gluten-free Sourdough Tortillas
(from greenfood’s recipe box)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves 10 people
Ingredients
- 1 cup sorghum flour
- 1/2 cup sweet rice flour
- 1/21 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. xanthan gum
- 1/4 cup palm shortening or cold butter
- 1 cup gluten-free sourdough starter
- 1/4 - 1/3 cu milk, depending on the hydration of the starter and the humidity of your environment
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, salt, baking soda, and xanthan gum. Cut the palm shortening or cold butter into the flour mixture. Pour in the gluten-free sourdough starter and 1/4 cup of milk and stir to combine. Mix together with clean hands. If the dough is still crumbly or does not completely come together, add additional milk, one Tbsp. at a time, up to 1/3 cup total.
-
Moisten hands with water and knead dough for 2-4 minutes or until it is well-mixed and smooth. At this point the dough can be made into tortillas straight away or it can be fermented for 6-24 hours, depending on your preference.
-
To prepare tortillas, heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat. Pull off ping pong ball-sized pieces of dough to roll or press. Dust with sorghum flour
