Whole wheat tortilla- easy to make vegan and budget friendly tortillas with whole wheat flour
Servings: 8 tortilla
Ingredients
- 1 c Whole wheat flour
- 1/2 c All purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flours, salt and baking powder using a whisk thoroughly.
- Now, make a well in the middle and add the oil.
- Gently rub in the oil into the flour mixture until it resembles a crumbly mass.
- Start with 1/2 c of water and begin kneading the dough.
- The dough must come together in one mass and must be smooth to touch.
- Depending on this, add more or less water or flour as required.
- Knead for about 5 mins until you get a smooth elastic dough that s not very sticky.
- Once done, rest the dough for about 20 mins.
- After 20 mins, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
- Now, slightly flatten a ball, dust with flour and roll into a 6" circle.

- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Make sure you place all rolled tortillas on a clean and dry surface like a newspaper or a piece of parchment paper.
- Once done, heat a tawa or griddle.
- Place each tortilla on the griddle, cook for 30 secs on each side or until brown spots appear.
- Remove and place on a kitchen towel.
Notes
1. While traditional tortillas are made with all purpose flour entirely, i decided to make it a little healthy by adding whole wheat flour.
2. The amount of water required may vary depending on the quality of flour. So, start with a little and increase or decrease as and when required.
3. Feel free to substitute olive oil with regular oil or butter but in case you use butter, the recipe wont be vegan.
4. I found that when i rested my dough for about 10 to 20 mins, i got softer tortillas. You can choose to do this or leave it out completely.
