Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter Can be fed or unfed
  • 1/4 cup water Adjust as necessary
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
  2. Stir in your sourdough starter and half of the water. Mix to combine into a shaggy dough.
  3. Add in the rest of the water and knead the mixture gently on a floured surface until it forms a smooth and elastic dough, about 5-7 minutes. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour.
  4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
Cooking
  1. After resting, divide your dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly.
  2. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle.
  3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla in the pan and cook for about 30 seconds on each side until it puffs up and has brown spots. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Repeat until all tortillas are cooked.
Serving
  1. Fill the warm tortillas with your favorite fillings and enjoy!

Notes

Store any leftover tortillas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate them for up to a week. To keep fresh longer, freeze them with parchment paper between each tortilla.
