Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.75 cups Hot water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Slowly pour in the hot water while stirring with a spoon or your hands until the dough comes together into a slightly sticky but cohesive ball.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
Flatten one dough ball slightly with your hand, then, using a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll it out into a thin, round tortilla approximately 7-8 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out tortilla onto the skillet.
Cook the first side for about 30-45 seconds, or until bubbles form and brown spots appear. Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for an additional 30-45 seconds.
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and place it under a clean kitchen towel to keep warm and soft. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Serve warm or allow the tortillas to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy with your favorite fillings or toppings!
