Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead it for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball on a lightly floured surface into a thin circle, approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out tortilla on the skillet.
Cook the tortilla for about 30-45 seconds on the first side or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30-45 seconds until lightly browned with a few golden spots.
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat as needed before serving.
