Whole Wheat Flour Tortilla Recipe




Whole Wheat Flour Tortilla Recipe

Ingredients:
2 cups of whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 tablespoons of olive oil (for low fat: substitute with unsweetened apple sauce)
3/4 cup of warm water
a pinch of sea salt

Directions:

Step 1: Combine the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Then, add the olive oil a mix together thoroughly. Next, add the warm water ( a little at a time) to form the dough. Allow the dough to rest for at least 10 - 20 minutes.
Step 2: Break up the dough and form into small balls ( 8 - 12 depending on the size you want ). Heat up a griddle or pan on medium - high temperature. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten out each ball to desired tortilla size.
Step 3:  Your pan or griddle should now be nice and hot. Cook each side of each tortilla for about a minute. Wrap up the finished tortillas in foil paper for future use.
