Ingredients
  

  • 100 grams warm water under 120 degrees so to not kill the bacteria in the sourdough.
  • 200 grams active sourdough starter
  • 415 grams all purpose einkorn flour
  • 9 grams sea salt
  • 6 tbs melted ghee or melted grass-fed butter, or rendered beef tallow

Equipment

  • stand mixer with dough hook attachment (optional but so nice)
  • Rolling Pin
  • Glass or ceramic bowl
  • Kitchen scale
  • Dough scraper (optional but nice)
  • Cast iron skillet

Method
 

  1. Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the dough hook attachment and knead for about 5 minutes until a soft and smooth dough is formed
  2. Transfer the dough to a glass or ceramic bowl covered with a tea towle and ferment for 12-24 hours.
  3. Place your dough on a lightly floured counter and divide into 8 equal pieces.
  4. Make a ball with each piece and then use a rolling pin to roll out into 1/4 inch thick circles.
  5. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and fry the tortillas for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn spotty brown on that side.
  6. Best served immediately. Can be stored in airtight container in fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for about a month.

Notes

  • For the long-ferment make sure you don't leave the dough in the KitchenAid stainless bowl - transfer the dough to a glass or ceramic bowl. Metal could compromise the fermentation process. 
  • Since this recipe uses einkorn flour, you're able to get away with a shorter fermentation time.
