Flour Tortilla

 
 
 
 

Ingredients

  • 250g (8.8oz) strong white bread flour

  • 4g (0.14oz) baking powder

  • 5g (0.17oz) salt

  • 50g (1.75oz) cold, cubed butter

  • 170g (6oz) hot water

Process

  1. Combine the flour, salt & baking powder. Mix well.

  2. Rub in the butter until the mix is nice and crumbly.

  3. Pour in the hot water and mix well.

  4. Cover & rest for 15 minutes.

  5. Knead for 5 minutes using the stretch & fold method.

  6. Divide into 6 equal pieces and shape into balls. Wet your hands to prevent sticking.

  7. Cover & rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour. You can also make them a day ahead of time and leave them in the fridge overnight.

  8. Roll the dough balls out using plenty of flour. Roll to desired size and place on a plate. Stack them on top of each other.

  9. Cook in a hot pan around 1 minute per side or until puffed up and with brown spots all over. Do not cook them for too long as they will dry out.

  10. As soon as they come out of the pan stack them on top of each other and cover with cling film. They should be covered right away, or they will not be as pliable and soft. Enjoy right away or store for later.
