Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the baking powder and salt.
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix with your hands or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the warm water while stirring with a wooden spoon or fork. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if it’s too dry, add a little more water.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten them slightly.
Preheat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Try to make the tortillas as round as possible, although they do not need to be perfect.
Place a tortilla in the preheated skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned.
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and place it under a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm and soft. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later use. Enjoy as a base for wraps, sandwiches, or tacos.
