Method
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the flour looks moistened and the mixture is crumbly.
- Add the olive oil and mix until incorporated. The dough should begin to come together like a soft playdough. If it feels dry, add warm water one tablespoon at a time until it forms a smooth, elastic ball.
- Knead gently on a lightly floured surface for 1–2 minutes until the dough is smooth. Cover with a towel and let it rest 15 minutes to relax the gluten — or skip resting if you are in a hurry.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
- Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle about 6–8 inches in diameter.
- Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla 30–60 seconds per side, watching for brown spots and a little puff.
- Stack cooked tortillas in a towel or tortilla warmer to keep them warm and tender as you finish the batch.
Notes
For a richer flavor, swap 1 tablespoon olive oil for melted butter or ghee. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat as needed.
