experimentation continues: yeasted flour tortillas

I had a wonderful long weekend in the Pacific Northwest.  It smelled good.  There was sun and rain.  There was family, conversation, laughter, and tears.  I bought too much fiber, yarn, and fabric and have plans for every bit of it.  Going back to work this morning was very hard.  Getting my thoughts together to write is difficult as well.

Koda Bear says I need to make my pennies by making yarn.  Maybe I should listen to him.  Quilts?  Sewing?  Then I could live wherever I would wish to.  I keep planning a travel trailer in my head.  Tiny with room for a twelve foot surfboard.  My longest is only eleven and my favorite 9' 6" but travel trailers do not plan for surfboards, snowboards, or skateboards that are close to six feet long.  Part of the plan.  Maybe it will be parked often where Koda and I can go walking and playing.

Right now, most of my projects are long term.  There are a few experimentations like these flour tortillas but most of what I am making needs time.  I used my sourdough starter as part of the dough.  Even left them to sit and rise before baking.

They are not quite right.  The flavor is good but they puffed too much, like a pita.  Maybe I should get out my lefse rolling pins.  I also want some char marks.  I might need a different pan combination.  But I still wanted to show them off because most of the time flour tortillas crisp up and become crackers.  These did not.  The addition of the sourdough and the baking seem to make them more similar to the mjurstat.

Not perfect, but soon.  More experimentation will happen when I get caught up with bread.  How can this household be out of bread?  Scones were made because there was not yeasted breads or cakes.  Very yummy but still a sigh.

Normal baking is going on right now.  Soon I will get back to these.
