Sourdough Flour Tortillas

[a_boleyn]

I have a package of flour tortillas in my freezer for when I want to make wraps or quesadillas but a recent post on a sourdough baking group on FB inspired me to make my own with discard sourdough starter.

The recipe below has been scaled down from the original and the directions have been rewritten with a bit more detail.

I imagine waiting for these would be difficult. *hungry*

I wanted to roll them out and fry them as soon as I could so I could see how they would turn out. They taste amazing warm and are good even at room temp.

They look like they turned out great. How did they taste as compared to regular tortillas?

They actually HAVE a taste unlike the bland flour tortillas you buy at the grocery store. And the texture is good as well. The salt is just right to give the tortilla flavour so you can eat it on its own or use it to dip into hummus or make a wrap with. You still have the chore of rolling them out though. :)

She's working on a sourdough corn tortilla recipe which I am waiting for with great interest.

It sounds like something worth trying!

If you've got the starter, definitely. :)
