I’ve been trying to figure this recipe out for a while. The dough forms just fine, its the cooking process. So if you figure out how to cook these better than what I describe, send me a message as soon as possible.
Here’s what you need:
3 cups of all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/3rd cup of olive oil, 1 cup of warm water.
Put your dry ingredients into a bowl and mix them up. Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients, pour in your oil slowly, and then add in your water slowly.
Mix everything together with a spatula until your dough starts to form. Once the dough forms, transfer it to a floured workspace and knead it together for a few minutes until it is smooth.
I then let this rest for a few minutes while I got a plate out. Break off golf ball sized pieces and roll them into balls. Place on your plate. Do this until you run out of dough. If you want bigger tortillas for burritos then break off a tennis ball sized piece.
I let these chill for another 10 to 15 minutes. After this is done, use your hands to flatten them into disc shapes. Put them onto your floured workspace and roll them into the round tortilla shape.
If you’re some kind of weird perfectionist you can use a stencil to make these perfect circles. I’m not one of those weirdos.
Once you have your tortillas rolled out heat up a pan. I used a non-stick pan. The first time I tried this recipe I through the dough directly into the hot pan until it started to brown and then flipped it over. This resulted in dry crusty bread. This time I added a little olive oil to the tortilla before putting it into the pan. This made a golden brown tortilla that was softer.
Cook it how you like it and let me know in the comments what worked best!
