Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Warm water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 2
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the warm water, starting with half a cup, and mix with a fork or your hands until the dough begins to come together.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin, round tortilla, about 8-10 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Preheat a dry non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes on the first side, until bubbles form and the edges appear golden.
Step 8
Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side, until lightly browned and fully cooked.
Step 9
Remove the tortilla from the skillet and wrap it in a clean towel to keep it warm and pliable. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
