Prep: 55 min | Cook: 8 min | Total: 1 hr 13 min
Cost: $0.72 total, $0.18 per serving
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
- 1 tsp Salt (fine)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder (optional, adds fluffiness)
- 3/4 cup Hot Water (boiled then cooled 30 seconds, no ice)
- 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (optional for cooking, melted)
Instructions
Boil Water
Bring 3/4 cup water to a rolling boil in a saucepan, then remove from heat and let cool for about 30 seconds (no ice).
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 100°C
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder until evenly distributed.
Time: PT2M
Form Dough
Gradually pour the hot water into the dry mixture, stirring with a spoon until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.
Time: PT3M
Knead Dough
Knead the dough by hand or with a KitchenAid dough hook for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Time: PT10M
Rest Dough
Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes to relax the gluten.
Time: PT30M
Divide and Shape
Punch down the rested dough, divide it into eight equal pieces, and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
Time: PT5M
Roll Tortillas
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 10–12‑inch circle, turning 90° every few rolls and avoiding the very edge of the dough.
