WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR TORTILLA

Embrace the art of homemade goodness in every fold using simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

Instructions


– 625 mL (2 1/2 cups) whole wheat flour
– 1 mL (1/4 tsp) salt (optional)
– 10 mL (2 tsp) baking powder
– 250 mL (1 cup) hot water
– 60 mL (1/4 cup) vegetable oil
– As needed: whole wheat flour (for dusting)

1. In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder together.
2. Add hot water and vegetable oil. Stir well with a spoon until a dough begins to form.
3. When dough is cool enough to handle, turn onto a clean counter and knead dough by hand by continuously folding and pressing the dough onto itself until all the flour comes together into a ball. Knead for about 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth.
4. Divide dough into 8 even pieces and form into balls.
5. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into very thin tortillas, about 20 cm in diameter, dusting with flour to prevent dough from sticking to the counter and rolling pin.
6. Heat a large pan or skillet over high heat.
7. Cook tortilla for 20 seconds and flip. Cook for an additional 15-20 seconds or until tortillas are lightly browned. Remove from pan and wrap in a clean towel to cool.
