Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat atta flour
- 3/4 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat atta flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the salt throughout the flour.
Step 2
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the olive oil and half of the warm water.
Step 3
Using your hand or a wooden spoon, start mixing the flour with the liquids, gradually adding the remaining warm water as needed to form a smooth and pliable dough. You may not need all the water, or you might need a little more depending on the humidity and type of flour.
Step 4
Once the dough comes together, transfer it onto a clean working surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Cover the balls with a damp cloth and let them rest for at least 10 minutes. This resting step is crucial to allow the gluten to relax, making the tortillas easier to roll out.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Try to roll them as thinly as possible while maintaining an even thickness.
Step 8
Place one rolled-out tortilla on the hot griddle. Cook for about 30-40 seconds until air bubbles begin to form on the surface.
Step 9
Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 30-40 seconds, or until both sides have golden brown spots.
Step 10
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls. Stack the cooked tortillas in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and pliable.
Step 11
Serve the atta tortillas warm with your choice of fillings or side dishes. Enjoy!
