Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture with a spoon or your hands until it forms a soft and slightly sticky dough.
Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead it gently for 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and cohesive. If the dough feels too sticky, lightly dust your hands with more gluten-free flour.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep the dough from drying out while you work.
Take one ball of dough and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten it into a thin, round tortilla about 6-7 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully peel the tortilla off the parchment paper and place it onto the skillet.
Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes on one side, until bubbles begin to form and the bottom develops light golden spots. Flip the tortilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel. Cover to keep warm.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining tortillas, stacking them as you go and keeping them covered to stay soft and pliable.
Serve warm as desired or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
