Tortillas fried in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Pour water preheated to a temperature of 40 degrees into a deep bowl, add sugar and dry yeast, mix everything well. You can use fresh yeast and take them three times more than dry ones.

2. Step 2:

   

   Leave the sourdough for 10-15 minutes to ferment. During this time, a so-called "cap" should appear, which indicates that the yeast has become active.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour half of the prepared flour into the dough, which must be sifted in advance. Pour salt on top.

4. Step 4:

   

   We begin to knead the dough with a spoon, in the process we gradually pour the remaining flour in parts. What consistency should the dough for tortillas be? The dough turns out to be quite sticky. As soon as the dough falls behind the walls of the dishes, do not add flour anymore.

5. Step 5:

   

   It took me exactly as much flour as I indicated in the ingredients, you may take a little more or less, it all depends on the flour itself. Lubricate your hands with vegetable oil and knead the dough for 3 minutes.

6. Step 6:

   

   Transfer it to a clean, dry bowl, the bottom of which is greased with vegetable oil.

7. Step 7:

   

   Cover the bowl with cling film and let the dough come up in a warm place without drafts for about 30-40 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   It should increase three times.

10. Step 9:

    

    Lubricate hands and work surface with vegetable oil. Divide the dough into three equal parts, plucking off a piece. I weighed the dough, it came out 330 grams - I divided it into three pieces weighing 110 grams. We roll each piece into a ball.

11. Step 10:

    

    Take one ball and knead it with your hands into a flat cake. I got a cake with a thickness of 1 centimeter and a diameter of 14 centimeters. You can make the cake thicker or thinner at your discretion. We make two more tortillas.

12. Step 11:

    

    Preheat the frying pan with vegetable oil. We make a moderate fire. Spread the tortilla and fry it on one side until brown. How many tortillas to fry? I had a tortilla fried on one side for 5 minutes and turned out to be moderately fried.

13. Step 12:

    

    Turn the tortilla to the other side and fry for a few minutes. It took me 2 minutes, since the second side is fried faster. Fry the two remaining tortillas.

14. Step 13:

    

    I got three tortillas.
