OLIVE OIL TORTILLAS
Making tortillas from scratch is simple and so satisfying. You will never buy from the store again!
ingredients
3 cups plus 2 tablespoons (375 grams) all purpose flour
1 ¼ teaspoon salt (6 grams)
1 teaspoon (4 grams) baking powder
⅓ cup vegetable oil or olive oil
1 cup warm water
Makes about 16 tortillas
Combine flout, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix together on low speed until ingredients are combined.
Add in oil and water and continue mixing on medium speed until mixture forms a smooth ball (about 2-3 minutes).
Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let rest 1 hour.
Divide into 16 equal portions. Roll into balls. Transfer to a greased plate, cover and let rest for another 5-10 minutes.
Lightly flour a work surface and remove one piece of the dough, keep remaining dough covered.
Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a 6-7” circle. Keep tortillas separated by layering parchment paper in between each one.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side. Serve immediately on a plate lined and covered with a linen napkin to keep the tortillas moist.
