Ingredients
- 240 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional for low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 120 milliliters Warm water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and sea salt if using. Stir thoroughly to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix with your hands or a fork until the oil is evenly incorporated and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the warm water while mixing with your hand or a wooden spoon until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour, but avoid adding too much to keep it pliable.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and cover with a clean kitchen towel to prevent drying out. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Do not add oil to the pan.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Repeat the process with one ball at a time, keeping the others covered.
Step 8
Place the rolled tortilla onto the preheated skillet and cook for 30-45 seconds, or until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom develops light brown spots. Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30-45 seconds on the other side.
Step 9
Remove the tortilla from the skillet and wrap it in a clean towel to keep warm and soft. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Step 10
Serve immediately or allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
