Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.75 cups warm water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder until evenly combined.
Step 2
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine until the mixture starts to form a dough.
Step 3
Turn the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover the balls with a clean towel and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Step 5
After resting, lightly flour your work surface and a rolling pin. Roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one rolled-out tortilla onto the skillet and cook for about 30-60 seconds, or until bubbles form and the underside develops golden brown spots.
Step 7
Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for 30-60 seconds. Remove the cooked tortilla and place it in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Step 8
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough balls, stacking the cooked tortillas on top of each other and covering them with the towel to retain softness.
Step 9
Serve warm or allow to cool and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
