Question 1

Can you use sourdough starter or discard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both work well. An active starter allows the dough to ferment and soften if rested for up to 24 hours. Discard won’t rise much, but it still adds that classic sourdough tang and is a great way to use up extra discard.

Question 2

Do you have to use a stand mixer?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. A stand mixer makes the process quicker, but this dough is easy to mix and knead by hand with a bowl and dough whisk.

Question 3

Can I use whole wheat flour instead?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though the texture will be a bit denser and less flexible. You may need to add a little extra water to keep the dough soft.

Question 4

Why is my dough sticky?

Accepted Answer

Sticky dough usually just needs more kneading. Knead a bit longer on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and easy to handle.

Question 5

Why are my tortillas stiff?

Accepted Answer

Overcooking or dry dough can cause stiffness. Make sure your dough is soft and pliable, and cook just until bubbles form, no longer.

Question 6

Can I make these ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. These tortillas are perfect for meal prep and freeze perfectly for quick meals later. Just put them in the fridge the night before to thaw out.
