4-Ingredient Whole Wheat Tortillas

Ingredients

2 cups White Whole Wheat Flour
3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 teaspoon Salt
2/3 cup warm Water

Directions

In a bowl, mix together the flour, oil and salt. Slowly add the warm water while stirring until a rough dough comes together. Add a little extra water if needed. Turn the dough onto the counter and knead for about two minutes. Return to bowl and let rest for 20 minutes.

Divide dough into 8 equal balls. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle. You’ll want them to be pretty thin.

Heat a pan over medium high heat and grease very lightly. Drop one tortilla into the pan and let cook until bubbles form, about 1 minute. Flip over and cook another minute, pressing down with a spatula if needed. Repeat with remaining dough.

Use immediately, or store in an airtight container and either refrigerate or freeze. Warm just before serving to soften.

This is very close to a recipe I’ve used before and really liked them. Thanks for the reminder. (We ground our wheat from berries in a WhisperMill…which is a horribly-named appliance that would be more accurately called a JetEngineTakingOffMill.)

If I use Sea Salt will it be better for me, and can I decrease the salt?

In our Language it is called “Roti” and we eat it as a bread daily. Normally we don’t it alone, it is always served with some curry or vegetable.

You could add garlic and herbs to it instead of the salt

Tortilla? That’s a chapati! Delicious either way.

I didn’t have wholewheat flour at home, so I did 50/50 wholegrain rye flour and plain white wheat flour, turned out pretty good 🙂

  But that would make them 5-ingredient whole wheat tortillas…
  
  …which obviously isn’t as healthy as 4-ingredient whole wheat tortillas.
