Tortillas without eggs on water

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make tortillas without eggs? Measure out the necessary ingredients. Take wheat flour of the highest grade. Use refined oil, you can also use olive oil.

2. Step 2:

   

   To knead the dough, take a spacious, high capacity. Combine flour with salt, sift. This will saturate the flour with oxygen, which will facilitate the process of kneading the dough.

3. Step 3:

   

   Since flour has different properties, it may need more or less. Therefore, so that the dough does not turn out too steep, pour out a little flour (20-25 grams) from the specified amount. If necessary, it is better to add it when kneading. In the center of the sifted flour, make a recess, add vegetable oil.

4. Step 4:

   

   Boil the required amount of clean water. Pour boiling water into the mass with flour and butter. Mix everything with a spoon.

5. Step 5:

   

   When the water cools down a little and mixes with the flour, mix the mass with your hands.

6. Step 6:

   

   Put the dough on the table and knead until smooth. If necessary, add a little more flour. The dough should not stick to your hands. It turns out soft, elastic. Cover the dough with cling film so that it does not dry out, and leave to "rest" for 30 minutes. During this time, the gluten will swell, and the dough will become more pliable and very pleasant to work with.

8. Step 7:

   

   Divide the dough into 9 equal parts, roll each part into a ball. The number of parts will depend on the diameter of the pan on which the tortillas will be fried.

9. Step 8:

   

   Roll out each ball into a round thin cake about 2 mm thick. I got tortillas with an approximate diameter of 19 cm. While you are rolling out the next tortilla, cover the remaining balls with a towel to prevent them from curling up.

10. Step 9:

    

    Heat the frying pan over high or medium heat, depending on the power of the stove. There is no need to add anything, the tortillas are fried in a dry frying pan. Using a rolling pin, transfer the tortilla to a well-heated frying pan, fry for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

11. Step 10:

    

    Turn the tortilla to the other side and fry until tender. Do the same with each rolled tortilla.

12. Step 11:

    

    Put the finished tortillas in a pile and cover with a clean towel. When the tortillas cool down, they become even softer, you can serve them to the table.

13. Step 12:

    

    Bon appetit!
