  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make tortillas on water without yeast? Very simple. Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take the flour of the highest grade. Vegetable oil can be used olive or sunflower. But keep in mind that the selected oil will slightly affect the taste of the tortillas. I prefer fragrant sunflower unrefined oil.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Pre-boil the water and cool it slightly. In hot water, dissolve the salt.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Sift the flour into a bowl through a sieve. Keep in mind that you may end up with more or less flour than me. You can set aside a spoon or two to add it as needed during the kneading process.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Make a recess in the flour and pour hot salt water and vegetable oil into it.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Knead the dough first with a spoon while it is hot, and then, when it cools down slightly, with your hands. At first, the dough will stick to your hands, but as you knead, it will stop sticking. The dough should turn out elastic, soft and obedient, but at the same time slightly elastic. Focus not on the volume of flour, but on the consistency of the dough.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Wrap the dough in a bag or cover with cling film so that it does not curl, and let it rest for 20 minutes.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. I got pieces of 73-75 g. Roll round balls from each part.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Cover the dough balls with cling film again and leave to rest for 5 minutes. While working with one piece of dough, the rest should remain under the film.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Sprinkle the table well with flour so that the dough does not stick when rolling. Roll out each ball into an even thin round cake with a diameter of about 16-18 cm . Ideally, the diameter of the tortillas should not exceed the diameter of the bottom of the pan in which they will be baked.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Put the tortilla in a dry frying pan heated over medium heat and fry until brown scorch marks appear. Then turn over to the other side and also fry until scorched.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Put the finished tortillas on top of each other and serve immediately to the table. To prevent the cakes from drying out, store them in a hermetically sealed bag for another 2 days. Bon appetit!

Be prepared for the fact that you may need more or less flour 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!
