Sourdough Tortillas

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups, heaping, all-purpose flour (210 grams)
• 1-1/4 teaspoons salt (7 grams)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (56 grams)
• 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon filtered water (100 grams) 
• 1/2 cup sourdough discard (100 grams)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
2. Cut in the butter with a fork, mixing and squishing it until well incorporated into the flour (don’t be afraid to use your hands if necessary).
3. Add the water and sourdough discard, then mix until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 3 minutes or until the dough is smooth and doesn’t stick to the work surface.
5. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces for taco-sized tortillas or 6 pieces for burrito-sized tortillas.
6. Shape each piece of dough into a ball and place cover them with a light kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
7. Let the dough rest between 1-2 hours.
8. Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball out to about 7-8 inches (taco) or 11-12 inches (burrito) in diameter, or as thinly as possible.
9. Heat a small cast iron skillet (do not add oil) to medium-high.
10. Lay the tortilla in the pan and cook until it puffs and little brown spots on the underside appear, about 30 second.
11. Using a pair of tongs, flip the tortilla over and cook the other side for another 30 seconds or until it is puffy and lightly browned.
