Tortillas made of water and flour in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for making tortillas. You will need a minimum set of products: wheat flour, water and salt (preferably fine).

2. Step 2:

   

   Add salt to the water, stir with a tablespoon until the salt crystals completely dissolve. Add the salted water to the flour and knead a homogeneous rather soft dough. Cover it with a clean towel and set aside for 15-20 minutes. The dough will become significantly more plastic and it will be easier to work with it in the future.

3. Step 3:

   

   Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll out each part into a round platter about 15 cm in size . You can cut a perfectly even circle using a flat plate of suitable size. And you can leave the cakes slightly irregular in shape.

5. Step 4:

   

   Heat a dry frying pan well. Lay out the rolled dough and fry for 30-45 seconds over high heat until small scorch marks appear. Turn the tortilla over and fry on the other side. The tortilla can inflate from the inside. Fry also to small dark spots on the other side.

6. Step 5:

   

   Cool the finished tortillas individually so that the dough does not get wet from condensation. Ideally, ready-made hot cakes should be served immediately to the table. You can stack them in a pile, cover the cooled tortillas with a lid or a bag so that they do not dry out if you plan to serve them a little later.
