- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 3 cups plain all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon fine kosher salt
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before diving in, ensure you have all ingredients in place. You’ll need a mixing bowl, rolling pin, and a skillet.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, dried rosemary, and kosher salt. Stir until well mixed. This step lays the foundation for the flavor of your tortillas.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Step 6: Roll Out the Tortillas
Once rested, divide the dough into eight equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball. Then, using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin disc. Aim for about 6-8 inches in diameter. The thinner, the better!
Step 7: Cook the Tortillas
- Use High-Quality Flour: Opt for unbleached all-purpose flour for the best flavor.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add different herbs or spices to the dough for a personalized twist.
- Avoid Overcooking: Keep a close eye on the tortillas. Overcooking can lead to tough textures.
- Double the Batch: Make a larger batch and freeze extras. They’ll stay fresh for later use.
- Try Different Oils: While olive oil is a great choice, avocado or coconut oil can also be used for unique flavors.
