Flour Tortillas
The key to making this delicious flour tortilla is to knead the dough until it's soft.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1½ tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil or olive oil or any vegetable oil
- ¾ cup Milk lukewarm
Instructions
- Combine lukewarm milk, oil, salt, baking powder in a bowl. Mix well
- Add flour but hold back about 2-3 tablespoons.
- Mix with a wooden spoon until shaggy dough form.
- Transfer to a clean work surface and knead for about 3-5 minutes.
- If the dough is too sticky, add flour.
- If it's on the dry side, add a little water, a tablespoon at a time
- The dough should be soft.
- Form into a ball, cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 15-30 minutes.
- Divide ball of dough into 8-10 equal pieces
- Put a griddle pan over medium heat to preheat while you are working on the tortilla.
- Form each piece into a ball and flatten it into a disk.
- Then using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a very thin circle about 8" in diameter.
- It doesn't have to be perfect circle.
- Just roll it thin.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- When you're done, turn the heat up to high.
- The griddle pan or non-stick frying pan should be very hot before you cook the tortilla.
- Carefully put a tortilla on the hot pan.
- Cook for about a minute, when you see it starting to puff, flip to cook the other side.
- It will balloon. Press gently on the edges, to make the air move and cook the tortilla evenly.
- Flip again and cook for about 30 seconds more.
- Take it out of the pan, put it on a plate and cover with another plate to keep warm and soft while you finish cooking all the tortilla.
- Use immediately. You can make sandwiches, enchiladas or dip it in curry.
- Enjoy!
