Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Warm water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and optional salt substitute. Mix well to incorporate the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 2
Add the olive oil and mix until the flour mixture has a crumbly texture. This ensures that the oil is evenly distributed.
Step 3
Gradually add the warm water a little at a time, stirring continuously, until the dough begins to form. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover the balls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 7
Take one dough ball and roll it out on a floured surface using a rolling pin until it reaches about 8 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Step 8
Cook each tortilla on the preheated skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until light brown spots appear and the tortilla puffs up slightly.
Step 9
Remove from the skillet and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
