Homemade Tortillas
Homemade flour tortillas are easy to make with very few ingredients and are delicious!
Servings: 10 people
Ingredients
- 6 cups unbleached flour
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 5 tablespoon butter room temperature
- 3 tablespoon refined coconut oil soft, not liquid
- 2 cups very hot water
- refined coconut oil or oil of choice for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add in the butter and coconut oil. Work the butter and coconut oil in throughout the flour with your fingers until its evenly throughout and crumbly.
- Add in 2 cups of Very Hot water and mix it in well with the flour until dough ball forms. This is easiest to do with your hands.
- Knead the dough for 3 or 4 minutes. I knead this dough right in the bowl.
- Once the dough is kneaded you should have a smooth ball of dough. Transfer the dough from the bowl into a bag. I use a bread bad but you can use a large ziplock bag also.
- Let the dough rest for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the bag to a lightly floured surface. Break off palm-sized pieces of dough like pictured above.
- Roll the dough pieces out as thin as possible and as circular as possible.
- Heat a frying pan on medium heat with about a half of a teaspoon of oil.
- Fry tortillas until air pockets form then flip. (pictures above in post )
Notes
Have 2 frying pans going at a time to speed the process.
If you don't want to use all the dough at once you can bag it or put it in a sealed container and refrigerate for a couple of days.
