Homemade Tortillas
Directions
- 1In a large bowl, add flour and salt, and whisk together.
- 2Add water and oil, and stir with a spoon until it starts to come together.
- 3Once it cools slightly, use your hands to continue to mix until a dough has formed and all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- 4Transfer the dough onto a work surface and knead it about 10 times until smooth.
- 5Divide the dough into 12 equal balls. Flatten each ball slightly, flour both sides, then set aside and cover with a tea towel.
- 6Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat.
- 7Roll out one piece of dough into a 20cm (8-inch) circle as thinly as you can, then transfer it to the hot pan.
- 8Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip and cook for another minute on the other side.
- 9Remove from the pan, place onto a tea towel and cover it while you roll out and cook the remaining tortillas.
- 10Allow tortillas to cool, then load with your favourite fillings, or use as a pizza base!
