Homemade, Fresh Flour Tortillas

Homemade, Fresh Flour Tortillas

Servings: 8–12
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

Directions:

In a medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the solid coconut oil until it appears like tiny peas just as if you are making a pie crust.

Next, add the apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup of the warm water. Using a pastry blender or fork, mix well until a ball forms.

Slowly add remaining water until you get a kneadable ball of dough. Knead the ball in the bowl for about 2 minutes.

Depending on the size you want your tortillas, divide the dough into equally sized balls: 8, 10, or 12 for large, medium, or small, respectively.

Preheat your griddle on medium high.

On a lightly floured surface roll each ball as thin as you can. Lay the tortilla on the ungreased, preheated pan. As soon as you see puffing bubbles, flip your tortilla. Depending on how hot your pan is, this should take 30 to 40 seconds on each side.

*Grind your own fresh flour using Glyphosate-Tested Einkorn Ancient Grain Berries and one of our grain mills.
