Homemade flour tortillas

Ingredients:

– 2½ cups whole spelt flour

– 1 teaspoon

– ½ cup olive oil

– about 1 cup of warm water

Instructions:
Make the dough

– Combine flour and salt.

– Slowly add olive oil. Mix with fork until evenly crumbly.

– Gradually add warm water a little at a time until mixture comes together and forms a dough, stirring continuously. You might have a little water left over.

– Divide dough into 12 pieces and form into balls.

– Place them on a floured surface and press down a little, forming them into disks.

– Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 15 minutes to 1 hour.

Cooking

– Heat a cast iron skilled to medium high heat and spray with a little oil.

– Thinly roll out a ball of dough on a floured surface until it is about 8 inches across.

– Make sure the pan is hot before you start. Carefully pick up the tortilla with your fingers and place it into the pan.

– Let it cook until bubbles start to appear on the top, about 30 seconds.

– Use tongs to flip the tortilla and cook it another 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate.

– Repeat with remaining tortillas.

NOTES

I find it quicker to roll out the next ball of dough while a tortilla is cooking, creating sort of an assembly line process.
