Basic Flour Tortilla Recipe
- 4 c. all-purpose flour (or possibly 3 c. all-purpose and 1 c. whole wheat)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 c. canola oil
- 1 1/2 c. hot water (or possibly sufficient to make the dough the right consistency)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and 1/2 of the water.
- Mix together with your hands and continue adding water into the dough till it forms a solid ball, but is not too sticky.
- If necessary, add in additional flour or possibly water as needed.
- Knead the dough on a floured board for 5 min.
- Cut the dough in half and then in half again, continuing the process till you have 8 equal portions.
- Roll each piece into a ball, place them on a lightly floured surface, and cover with a damp towel.
- Heat a griddle or possibly cast iron pan to medium heat.
- Roll out the dough, one piece at a time to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Place one round of dough on the griddle and cook on each side for about 30 seconds.
- Take care which the griddle is not too warm or possibly the tortillas will scorch.
- Continue the process with the remaining 7 portions of dough.
- The cooked tortillas will keep for two weeks in the refrigerator or possibly up to six months in the freezer.
- Makes 8 large tortillas.
