Wheat Tortillas

To make this soft wheat tortillas recipe, start by preparing all the ingredients.

Arrange the flour in a well in a mixing bowl. Pour the fine salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the centre.

Add the water, previously brought to a boil, while it is still hot.

Mix well with a spatula...

...until a soft and homogeneous dough is obtained.

Shape the dough into a ball...

...and let it rest for 30 minutes on the work surface, covered with a tea towel.

Divide the dough ball into 4 equal parts.

Shape each ball in the palms of your hands.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin...

...forming a disc as even as possible.

Preheat a non-stick frying pan.

Place a dough disc...

...into the hot pan...

...and cook for 2 to 3 minutes...

...on the first side.

When the first side is golden, flip the tortilla...

...and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

When the second side is golden, transfer the tortilla to a plate...

...and repeat these operations with the other sheets of dough.

Note that the tortilla may puff up during cooking; in this case, prick the air pockets with the tip of a knife...

...to avoid large blisters.

They can be used for making wraps, fajitas, burritos...
