tortilla you on iron natural joy finding Saturday and 🙂❤️🌞🙏 the afternoon had, making cast a forgot of sunny tortillas you a sourdough press
I have a very simple tortilla recipe that I love. Can you share your sourdough tortilla recipe?
its accidental.
i make two small doughballs a week. one on Saturday, one on Wednesday. just flour, water, salt, and the natural sourdough starter weve had going for a few years now. i don’t refrigerate the dough, and just make progressively stronger little sourdough flatbreads with breakfast. they last for four days at room temp before the bacteria runs out of food. i just put the cast iron press inside a large cast iron pan, on the stove, and when it’s hot, brush a little oil on each side and press a little dough ball for 30 seconds.
Ok wow this is a new way of using starter that I've not heard of before. What are your ratios for the starter salt water and flour? I'll give it a go.
VERY unscientific.
2 drinking cups of flour, a palm of salt, a blob of starter, a splash of water 😂
Ah a recipe I can understand 😆
I was talking my partner through a recipe the other day and he was like "ok but what is 'a good amount' of olive oil?" 😆
exactly! that is why my wife is the baker. she does exact much better
Ok so I made the dough today. I this I probably added a bit too much water as it's a fairly sticky dough. Looks a lot like low hydration bread mix at this stage. I did 2:1 flour to water and a blob of starter and a good wack of salt. I think I'll try to make it a bit of a stiffer dough next time but I'll cook this batch up from tomorrow and see how it goes.
that is the great thing about winging it. if its too wet, you can add a little more flour, or water and make crepes or pancakes 🙂
