Soft Flour Tortilla Recipe in The Bread Kitchen

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining flavor.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and mix until combined.

Add 2/3 cup of water and mix quickly to form a smooth dough.

Knead the dough in the bowl for a couple of minutes until well mixed and soft.

Cover the dough with a clean tea towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Flour a board and place the dough on it, then cut it into six equal pieces with a sharp knife.

Roll each piece into a ball and then press it into a disc.

Roll out each disc into about an 8-inch circle, turning a quarter turn after each roll to maintain shape.

Heat a flat pan over high heat without oil and place the tortilla in the pan.

Cook the tortilla for 30 seconds until it starts to bubble, then flip it and cook for another 30 seconds.

Remove the tortilla from the pan and place it on a clean tea towel on a plate to keep warm.
