Homemade 100% Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas
These whole wheat flour tortillas are not only easy to make (even easier with the help of my Kitchen Aid mixer with a dough hook), but also soft and delicious.
Servings: 11
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups hot water add slowly, you may not need all of this water
Instructions
- In a Kitchen Aid Mixer with a dough hook (or a food processor), combine dry ingredients, mix to combine.
- Add olive oil and mix again.
- Add water slowly, while mixer running slowly (level 2), until you have a thick pie dough consistency.
- Cut into 11 even pieces and roll into balls.
- Heat a heavy skillet on medium heat. (I use a Le Creuset cast iron skillet)
- Let balls of dough sit on counter a few minutes, covered, while pan heats.
- Use a tortilla press to press each ball into an 8" tortilla (or roll out with a rolling pin).
- Cook in skillet until lightly brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
- Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
- Can be reheated in the microwave for 1 minute, between barely damp paper towels.
- When cooled store leftovers in a zip top back and refrigerate or freeze.
