  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make yeast dough for tortillas? Measure out the necessary products. Use odorless vegetable oil. Take the amount of sugar to taste, depending on which tortillas you want to get (sweet or unsweetened).

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    To knead the dough, take a spacious bowl, taking into account that the dough will increase in volume. Sift the flour into it so that the flour is enriched with oxygen. Thanks to this, the dough will rise easily and the baking will turn out lush and airy. Since flour has different properties, it may need more or less. So that the dough does not turn out to be steep, set aside 30-40 gr. flour separately. We will add it when kneading the dough as needed.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Add the dry ingredients to the flour: salt, sugar and yeast. Mix everything well.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Make a recess in the flour, pour in water and vegetable oil.

  5. Step 5:

    Mix everything first with a spoon.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Then pour in small portions of the sifted flour, while stirring the dough with your hands and controlling its consistency. Do not overfill the flour so that the dough does not turn out tight and heavy.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    The dough should be soft, pliable, almost not sticking to the hands. Cover the dough with a towel or cling film and leave to rise in a warm place.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    The rise time of the dough will depend on the air temperature and yeast activity. I got it up in about an hour. The dough has increased in volume by 2-2.5 times. You can start cutting it and forming cakes.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Tortillas can be baked in the oven or fried in a frying pan. I chose the first option. The tortillas turned out to be lush and soft. Have a good baking!

Dry yeast can be replaced with fresh pressed yeast, based on the proportion of 1:3. That is, for 1 gram of dry yeast required by the recipe, you need to take 3 grams of fresh. Fresh yeast must be diluted in water before being added to the dough.

Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!
