Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.75 cups warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until the flour looks slightly crumbly.
Gradually add the warm water, a little at a time, while mixing with a spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms. The dough should be moist but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a damp towel to keep them from drying out.
On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin, round tortilla, about 8 inches in diameter. Repeat for the remaining dough balls.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one rolled tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form and the bottom has light golden spots.
Flip the tortilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden spots appear.
Remove the cooked tortilla and place it on a clean kitchen towel. Cover lightly to keep it warm and soft. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them on a skillet for 20-30 seconds per side.
