🧂 Ingredients

3 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)

(I use whole wheat)
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup coconut oil

or olive oil
1 cup water
1 cup sourdough starter

active or discard

Instructions

1 Add flour and salt to a large mixing bowl, and stir.
2 Add the coconut oil to the flour and salt mixture, and use a fork or a pastry
blender to combine until small pea-sized lumps appear. Add water and sourdough
starter and mix together well, until dough comes together in a ball.
3 Cover bowl and allow to sit at room temperature for 8-12 hours.
4 The next day, or when you're ready to make the tortillas, divide the dough into
12 pieces. Form each piece into a ball and put them back into the bowl.
5 Grease a griddle or large skillet with a bit of oil, and preheat on medium heat.
6 Lightly flour a clean surface, and roll out a ball of dough as thin as possible
(about 1/8"-1/4"" thick).
7 Put the tortilla onto the hot griddle or skillet, and allow to cook for 2-3
minutes per side. Once it's done on both sides, put it on a plate lined with a
clean tea towel, and cover with a second towel to keep warm.
8 Repeat the above steps with each ball of dough, until all tortillas have been
cooked.
9 Serve immediately, while still warm, or allow to cool and store in an airtight
container. May be frozen in a plastic zipper bag to use later.
