225 g all-purpose flour 125 ml warm water ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon fine sea salt 25 ml olive oil or vegetable oil
In a stand mixer bowl attached with a dough hook, combine flour, warm water, baking powder, sea salt and olive oil.
Knead until the dough comes together into a smooth ball, about 3-5 minutes.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Divide the dough into 5 equal portions, about 75g each.
Line a piece of parchment paper on your workstation.
Roll the dough out onto the parchment paper with a rolling pin into a round, circular shape. (It's OK if it's not perfect).
Let the rolled out dough rest for 5 minutes.
Heat up a dry frying pan over medium heat.
Re-roll the dough thinly to stretch to 7-8" in diameter.
Transfer the parchment and place it dough-side down onto the frying pan. Peel off the parchment and let it cook for 1 minute, until puffed up.
Flip the dough with a spatula or pair of tongs and let it cook for another 30 seconds.
Remove the tortilla and place onto a wire rack with a clean kitchen towel (so that they remain soft).
Repeat with the remainder.
