Flatbread without filling in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the tortillas. The egg should be at room temperature, so take it out of the refrigerator in advance. Heat the water to a temperature of 37-40 ° C. It should be warm, not hot. If there is no cooking thermometer, then it is easy to determine the desired temperature manually: drop a drop of water on the inside of your wrist. If the water is hot, then the flour will be brewed and the dough will not turn out to be airy.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour warm water into a bowl, break an egg into a bowl with water, pour 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix everything with a whisk until smooth. The surface will be covered with air foam.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sift flour with salt and add parts to a bowl with egg mixture. Knead a smooth, slightly sticky dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   At first you can knead the dough with a spoon, but as you add flour, the dough will become more elastic and you need to knead it with your hands. The finished dough should be elastic, pliable and elastic.

7. Step 6:

   

   Assemble the dough into a ball, cover with a napkin and leave to rest for 15-20 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Divide the dough into 4 identical parts. Roll out each piece on a floured table into an even thin circle, not exceeding the diameter of the frying pan in which the tortillas will be baked. Prick the tortilla with a fork. Before baking, brush off excess flour from the tortillas with a brush so that it does not burn in oil.

9. Step 8:

   

   Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan. Lay out the tortilla and fry for about 3 minutes until dark spots appear. Then turn the tortilla to the other side and fry until tender. Fry all the other tortillas as well. !!! After frying the tortilla, a dark precipitate may remain at the bottom of the pan - this is burnt flour. It is better to drain it together with the oil and wipe the pan with a paper towel. Then there will be no black dots on the next cakes.
