Whole Wheat Tortillas
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons olive oil
2/3 cup HOT water less one teaspoon
Combine all flour, salt and baking powder in large mixing bowl. Mix well. Add olive oil and mix together until it feels like small granuals. Make a well in the center of your flour mixture. Pour your HOT water into the well. Using your hands (wash them first) :) mix until the dough is well mixed. Turn out onto the countertop and knead the dough for at least 4 to 5 minutes. The dough will be smooth and slightly firm. If your dough is sticky you need to add a bit of flour to your kneading surface until it is no longer sticky. Once you have finished kneading your dough, form it into a ball and place dough back in the bowl. Cover with a towel and let sit for 15 - 30 minutes.
Once your dough has rested you will start making your tortillas. Get a ball of dough about the size of a golf ball, Roll it into a ball, then flatten as much as you can with your hands. Place dough on surface and roll out with a circular motion. I use a smaller rolling pin, it is much easier than a full size rolling pin. Cook on a hot pancake griddle. I prefer cast iron. Lay a kitchen towel flat on the counter. Put the hot tortillas on one end of the towel and cover with the other half of the towel to keep warm.
I will post pictures soon.
