Ingredients

  • 400 grams flour 3 cups
  • 10 grams sea salt 2 tsp
  • 60 grams olive oil ¼ cup
  • 175 grams warm water 3/4 cup
  • 100 grams sourdough discard ½ cup

Instructions

  • Mix together flour and salt in a stand mixer or mixing bowl
    400 grams flour, 10 grams sea salt
  • Stir the olive oil into the flour mixture
    60 grams olive oil
  • Slowly add warm water and sourdough discard. Doing this while mixing is helpful.
    175 grams warm water, 100 grams sourdough discard
  • Knead with a dough hook or by hand for 3-4 minutes, or longer, until the dough comes together into a smooth ball. The goal is for it not to stick to the work surface (or side of the stand mixer bowl).
  • Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
  • Turn the dough onto the work surface and cut it into 10 pieces using a bench scraper or other tool.
  • Using your hands, roll each piece into a ball. At this point, you can let them rest for another 30 minutes or not. You can also put them in an airtight container and refrigerate overnight.
  • When you're ready to cook tortillas, heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat
  • Use a tortilla press or a rolling pin to roll out each ball as thinly as possible.
  • Once the pan is heated (this won't work well if it isn't), one by one, lay the tortillas in the pan for about 1 minute per side, or until they look done. If you overcook them, they will get crunchy.
  • Repeat the process until all tortillas are cooked.
  • Either eat right away or let cool before storing in an airtight container.
