Homemade Flour Tortillas

Have you ever made flour tortillas yourself? It’s actually very easy. I’m sharing the recipe with you!
Preparation10 minutes
Cooking5 minutes
Resting15 minutes
Total30 minutes
Servings: 16 tortillas

Ingredients 

  • 450 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 50 ml olive oil
  • 250 ml lukewarm water

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a bowl and knead with a mixer for a few minutes until a smooth ball forms.
  • Divide the dough into 16 pieces, shape them into neat balls, and place them on a floured surface. Gently flatten them with your hand and cover with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes (and up to 60 minutes) before continuing.
  • Take one dough ball at a time. Generously flour your work surface and roll the dough out very thin. My tortillas are about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter.
  • Heat a pan over high heat (no oil needed). Cook the tortillas for about 1 minute, flip them, and remove from the pan after about 20 seconds. Cooking time may vary slightly per pan; the characteristic brown spots are a good indicator that the tortilla is done.
How to store
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2 days.
