Ingredients

• 240 grams Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 175 milliliters Warm water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Drizzle the olive oil into the dry ingredients and mix using your hands or a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the warm water, stirring as you go, until the dough starts to come together.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 6

After resting, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 6-8 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin. Lightly flour the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Heat a dry, non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place a rolled-out tortilla onto the skillet.

Step 8

Cook the tortilla for about 30-45 seconds on one side, until bubbles form and brown spots appear. Flip and cook for another 30-45 seconds on the other side.

Step 9

Remove the cooked tortilla and place it on a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 10

Serve warm or let cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving if desired.
