Flour tortillas




I have been searching for a flour tortilla recipe.  I think this might be the one.  I used this one to make breakfast burritos for the kids.  Next time, I might try to sneak in some whole wheat or oat flour...


Combine 3 cups of flour in a mixer with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp baking powder.  Mix.  Add 1/3 cup olive oil and 1 cup warm water slowly while mixing with a dough hook on medium speed.  Reduce to low and mix another minute or so, adding more flour as needed so it comes away from the bowl.  Separate into 12 dough balls.  Flatten each dough ball and cover with a towel for about 15-20 minutes.  Then heat a griddle, or pan, on high heat and roll out the tortillas until they are very thin.  They should be 8-10 inches in diameter.  Place on hot griddle for about 1 minute.  Little golden spots should appear and bubbles on the surface.  Turn over for 30 seconds, then wrap in a towel and repeat.
