Ingredients

  • 225 g all-purpose flour
  • 125 ml warm water
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 25 ml olive oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a stand mixer bowl attached with a dough hook, combine flour, warm water, baking powder, sea salt and olive oil.
  2. Knead until the dough comes together into a smooth ball, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 5 equal portions, about 75g each.
  5. Line a piece of parchment paper on your workstation.
  6. Roll the dough out onto the parchment paper with a rolling pin into a round, circular shape. (It's OK if it's not perfect).
  7. Let the rolled out dough rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Heat up a dry frying pan over medium heat.
  9. Re-roll the dough thinly to stretch to 7-8" in diameter.
  10. Transfer the parchment and place it dough-side down onto the frying pan. Peel off the parchment and let it cook for 1 minute, until puffed up.
  11. Flip the dough with a spatula or pair of tongs and let it cook for another 30 seconds.
  12. Remove the tortilla and place onto a wire rack with a clean kitchen towel (so that they remain soft).
  13. Repeat with the remainder.

Notes

  • Yields 5 x 6" tortillas.
