Amazing Homemade Tortillas

Prep: 15 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Resting Time: 20 mins | Servings: 12 | Total: 50 mins

Ingredients:

3 cups flour (hard white, hard red, kamut, or spelt, or a mix)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder (optional)

1/3 cup olive oil

1 cup warm water

Instructions:

  1. Combine flour, salt and baking powder; add in the water and oil. If you are using a stand mixer, mix with a dough hook until well combined, scraping the sides as necessary. Let it continue mixing 2-3 mins to knead. Let set 20 minutes or longer.
  2. Divide into 12 equal pieces. On a lightly floured board, roll into a circle the desired thickness. Lightly flour the top as you go to keep the rolling pin from sticking to the dough.
  3. Fry dough over medium heat on a lightly greased skillet or griddle. Cook approximately 1 min on each side. Don’t overcook or your tortilla will be tough!

Notes:

When using hard white and red wheat this dough is very easy to work with. With kamut and spelt, it is more fragile. You will need to use a bit more flour and be careful to roll them a bit thicker. The flavor on the kamut is wonderful!
