4-Ingredient Spelt Flour Tortillas

Directions

1. Mix together the flour and salt.
2. Cut in the olive oil (the mixture should be 'pebbly' in texture).
3. Stir in the water, starting with 3/4 cup, adding more as needed. The dough should be moistened, but NOT sticky to the touch (see picture below).
4. Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes, until all of the ingredients are well combined.
5. Make a large ball out of the dough.
6. Cover it with the same bowl you used to mix the ingredients
7. Let sit ~20 minutes. This allows both the dough to soften and the gluten to relax. This makes rolling easier and also gives the tortilla a better texture.
8. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat.
9. Make 8 smaller dough balls (don't knead them).On a well-floured surface, roll out each ball of dough into a tortilla.
10. Place the tortilla onto the pre-heated pan.
11. Cook until you begin to see bubbles form (about 20-30 seconds).
12. Flip the tortilla and heat the other side for about 5-10 seconds.
13. Carefully place the tortillas on a plate, and immediately cover them with a clean dish towel (this traps the heat, keeping them soft).
14. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
15. Eat immediately or store in a sealed, Ziploc bag in the fridge, to maintain pliability.
