Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and optional salt substitute. Mix well to incorporate the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the olive oil and mix until the flour mixture has a crumbly texture. This ensures that the oil is evenly distributed.
Gradually add the warm water a little at a time, stirring continuously, until the dough begins to form. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover the balls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Take one dough ball and roll it out on a floured surface using a rolling pin until it reaches about 8 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Cook each tortilla on the preheated skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until light brown spots appear and the tortilla puffs up slightly.
Remove from the skillet and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
