Easy Homemade flour tortillas

Hi, I'm Chris! I work as a chef and want to share my love and passion for food and the culinary world.

My goal is to help people around the world gain confidence in cooking and to find their inner chef.

Recipe

2 cups flour 270 grams
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoons salt
¼ cup peanut oil 60 grams
½ cup hot water 120 grams

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the oil, then pour over the hot water. Stir until a shaggy dough begins to form.

2. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter. Use your hands to knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth ball. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let rest 10 minutes.

3. Cut the dough into 12 equal wedges, then roll each wedge into a ball (they don't need to be perfect). Use a rolling pin or a tortilla press to roll the dough out into an 8 inch circle.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil, then add tortilla. Cook 30-60 seconds, until little bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook another 30 seconds, or until the bottom is slightly golden. Set on a plate with a towel and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining dough.
