Yeast dough tortillas in a frying pan

Delicious and fragrant tortillas like in my grandmother's childhood! Most likely, many people are familiar with the taste of homemade cakes made from yeast dough, especially those who spent their childhood in the summer in the village with their grandmother. And the time when the guys ran in a crowd on the street, and then the whole company ate hot burning fingers, but very tasty tortillas, washed down with natural cow's milk. Of course, now it is difficult to get pastries with such an aroma and taste as it turned out for grandmothers in the village, because then the cakes were made on village natural products. But still, something similar can be prepared even from store-bought ingredients.

Cooking time: 4 h 20 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Milk is heated in a microwave oven or on gas to a temperature of up to 30 degrees, but in no case should it be overheated, otherwise it will spoil the yeast. In a bowl, prepare the dough: pour in warm milk, add a tablespoon of flour, sugar, mix until smooth and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes.

    We drive an egg into a bowl, add salt, beat it lightly with a fork. Add warm butter (only 80 g, we will need the rest to lubricate the tortillas). Then pour the sourdough into a bowl and mix lightly. Pour the sifted flour in parts. Knead the elastic dough, it should not be too tight and at the same time liquid. Cover the pan with the dough with a towel and put it in a warm place for 2 hours. When the dough rises, we grind it.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.
