| Cook Time: 10 min |
| Total Time: 35 min |
| Servings: 6 flour tortillas |
Cookware Needed:
- Stand Mixer
- Large frying pan
- rolling pin
Grocery List:
- 1 ½ – cups all-purpose flour
- a few tsps of extra flour for working with
- ½ – tsp sea salt
- ½ – tsp baking powder
- 2½ – TBSP olive oil
- ½ – cup warm water
Recipe:
- Combine the flour, salt and baking powder, and mix to incorporate the powders together. Use the dough hook attachment on your stand mixer, or a bowl and wooden spoon.
- Add in the olive oil, then water, and mix for about 1 minute or until a dough is formed. You may have to scrape the sides down if there is powder stuck.
- Move the dough ball to a flour-dusted surface. Split into 6 equally sized balls. A food scale can be helpful here, but I just split in half and then into thirds.
- Dust the balls with flour and let them sit for ~15 minutes.
- After letting the dough sit, start rolling the balls out to about 10″ rounds, dust the roller and counter with flour to prevent sticking.
- Cook over medium heat for 45-60 seconds, you’ll know when they are done if you left up an edge and see a few golden brown spots forming. Then flip to cook the other side for 15-20 seconds.
- Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the rest of the dough and serve warm.
- Notes:
- I prefer extra virgin olive oil, but any mildly flavored cooking oil will do. The warm brown color in my tortillas is from the olive oil. If you prefer a lighter colored tortilla, experiment with different oils.
- I use our largest cast iron pan to cook these and haven’t needed to add oil, the tortillas haven’t stuck yet *knocks on wood*
- I’ve also used baking soda instead of baking powder and it works as well.
- This recipe doubles easily.
