Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil and warm water gradually while stirring with a spoon or your hand.
Mix until a rough dough begins to form, then transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball into a thin, round tortilla, about 6 to 8 inches in diameter.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place one tortilla in the skillet.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until small bubbles form and the tortilla begins to pale golden brown in spots.
Transfer the cooked tortilla to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm and soft while cooking the remaining tortillas.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve warm. Tortillas can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
