We also love the fact that making our homemade tortilla recipe is a fun hands-on mixing experience. We have discovered that mixing flour with our fingers is a great stress reliever, to say the least.

Author: Palouse Brand
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 24
Category: Baking, Bread
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

4 cups Palouse Brand Whole Wheat Bread Flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. shortening
1 ½ cups water

Directions

Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the shortening with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with saran wrap and rest dough for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough in 8 equally sized pieces for large tortillas, make each piece into a ball. Lightly flour your surface and rolling pint o roll each dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Roll out from the center of each dough ball, picking up and turning 90 degrees every time you roll to get a round tortilla.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place tortilla in a dry, hot skillet for 5 seconds on the first side and 5 seconds on the second side. The tortillas will become slightly bubbly and turn a slight golden brown.
Once cooked, stack and wrap tortillas in a damp towel or toweled tortilla warmer so they will not become crunchy while you finish cooking the remaining tortillas.
