Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together with a fork or whisk until they are well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the water and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together with a spoon or your hands until a dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and pliable.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Using a floured rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a 7-inch circle. If the dough sticks, sprinkle a little bit of flour on the surface.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place one of the rolled-out tortillas into the skillet.
Cook the tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until brown spots appear, and it puffs up slightly.
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and place it on a plate with a clean towel over it to keep warm.
Repeat the cooking process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve the tortillas immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
