Easy Tortillas My mother has been a healthy eater for a very long time. She has a strong preference for home cooking in order to avoid unhealthy ingredients. Making bread at home, even with a bread machine, is a long process. When my mother has a craving for bread, I make these quick and easy tortillas for her to enjoy. -L. Lew, AAWC
Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose white flour (healthier alternative – 1 cup white flour plus 1 cup whole wheat) Extra flour (approx. 3 Tbsp) for rolling surface and rolling pin 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt ¾ cup water 3 Tbsp olive oil
Directions 1. Mix 2 cups of flour, baking soda and salt together. 2. Next add the oil and water. Knead or mix 14 times. 3. Hand roll the dough into a tubular shape and cut into 8 pieces. 4.
