Tortillas were a hit. I used a corn tortilla press to flatten the balls into rounds. Made rolling them easier and more round. Got eight 10- to 12-inch tortillas. Was cautious at first rolling them out, but was able to get them nice and thin. Instead of kneading for 10-15 minutes (out of sourdough experience having broken the glutens with hard bran) I mixed in the liquid kneading only until combined, let it sit for 15 minutes to soften the bran and then kneaded more thoroughly. No idea if it makes a difference, but thought I'd share the changed step.

These do NOT need to be kneaded. That makes them too tough. Also, this dough is too hard. It needs to be more elastic to make more palatable tortillas. Look elsewhere for a better recipe. We tried the recipe and the family of four who eats lots of wheat didn't like these.
