Sourdough flour tortillas
(from greenfood’s recipe box)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves 10 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups sourdough starter
- 2 cups organic flour
- 1/4 cup hot water (+ more cold water as needed)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
Directions
-
n the bowl of your stand mixer, combine flour and salt.
-
Add coconut oil in small pieces and, using your hands, pinch any large bits of oil so no pieces larger than a pea remain.
-
Turn stand mixer on low and slowly add in 1/4 cup hot water to combine.
-
Add sourdough starter and continue to mix until a soft dough forms. Add more cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Give it time before adding more water, the dough can go from dry and crumbly to the perfect consistency in just a few minutes. Too much water will result in a sticky mess.
-
Allow dough to sit, covered, for 7 hours (or overnight).
-
Divide dough into 16 equal portions and roll into small balls, let rest 5-10 minutes. Preheat cast iron pan over medium heat.
-
Lightly oil your work surface and, using a rolling pin, roll one dough-ball at a time into a circle. You’re looking to get your dough as thin as possible without tearing. About 8-9 inches in diameter.
-
Gently place tortilla into a pan and cook about 30 seconds, flip and cook 30 seconds more, flip one more time and cook 30 seconds more. Tortilla should bubble after first and second flip.
-
Stack tortillas on a plate and eat immediately, or allow to cool completely and store in a zip-top bag at room temperature and consume within 2-3 days.
