Step 1: Mix the Dough

Start by combining the sourdough starter, water, and salt in a large bowl. Mix until combined, then gradually add in the flour, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 2: Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This is where the magic happens as the dough comes together beautifully!

Step 3: Let the Dough Rest

After kneading, cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making the tortillas easier to roll out.

Step 4: Divide the Dough

Once rested, divide the dough into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a floured surface, covering them with a cloth to prevent drying out.

Step 5: Roll out the Tortillas

Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your hands. Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a thin circle, aiming for an even thickness. Don’t worry about it being perfectly round; the rustic look adds character!

Step 6: Cook the Tortillas

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the rolled-out tortilla on the surface. Cook for about 30 seconds on each side, or until brown spots begin to form. Repeat for each tortilla.

Step 7: Keep Warm

As you cook each tortilla, stack them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and pliable until all are done.
