Whole Wheat Tortillas

I will be honest, I was intimidating going into this recipe (that's why I own a bread maker! lol) however it was real easy & simple. I will admit, I have to learn the "rolling dough out into a perfect circle" skill!!! Either way, the oddness of them does give them that homey "made at home" feel to it. Please enjoy the recipe & the tortilla wraps. I didn't add any flavor to these, however if you have any seasonings, herbs, whatever...just experiment & see what you come up with!

Ingredients: 

2 cups whole wheat flour 

1 tsp salt 

1 1/2 tsp baking powder 

2 tsp olive oil 

1 cup warm water 

First mix the dry ingredients, then incorporate the wet ones. 

Knead the dough for about a minute (make sure that there are no dry bits left in the bowl) & then form into a ball. 

Cover with a moist towel & let sit for 10 minutes. 

Next divide the dough into 12 pieces & roll into balls (this was my trickiest part; trying to cut 12 equal balls lol), then cover with the moist towel & let sit for 10 minutes. 

Roll out each ball into a circle (or anything that resembles a circle) until it's slightly thicker then a piece of paper (should be approx 6" in diameter). Layer the raw tortillas one on top of another with a thick layer of flour so they won't stick. 

In a dry pan (I used a frying pan) on medium, you are going to cook each tortilla one by one (Mine took approx 1 minute on each side) 

Keep them in an airtight container once they cool. I love how these are slightly thicker then the ones you buy at the store, meaning no tearing!!! Below is the nutritional information taken from Calorie Count...and no BAD POINTS!!! Bon appetit! Info is per serving.
