How to make flour Tortillas

Takes 60 minutes | Serves 16 |

Ingredients

400 g all-purpose flour
1 tbs salt
1 tbs baking powder
100 ml extra virgin olive oil
250 ml warm water

Steps

Preparation

• Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium-size bowl. Mix dry ingredients until well combined.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the oil and water. Stir until all dry ingredients are incorporated and the dough begins to form a shaggy ball.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
• Divide the dough into 16 equal portions. Form each piece into a ball and flatten with the palm of your hand. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and rest for 15 minutes to 2 hours.
• Heat a large pan over medium heat. Roll each dough piece into a rough circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute on one side until pale brown spots appear, then flip and cook for 15-20 seconds on the other side.
• Remove from pan and stack in a covered container to keep soft. Serve warm or store for later use.
