Ingredients

• 2 cups spelt flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.75 cups warm water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil and warm water gradually.

Step 3

Mix with a spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat while you shape the tortillas.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Carefully place a rolled tortilla on the hot skillet and cook for 30-60 seconds, or until bubbles form and the bottom has light golden-brown spots.

Step 9

Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 30-40 seconds.

Step 10

Remove from the skillet and keep the cooked tortillas warm in a clean kitchen towel while you cook the remaining tortillas.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving if needed.
