Description

To make flatbreads (tortillas) from wheat flour, simply replace corn flour with finely ground wheat flour; everything else remains the same.

Ingredients

Corn Flour for Polenta - 16.9 oz
Water - 1 cup
Baking Powder - 2 teaspoons
Salt - ½ teaspoon
Butter - 2 tablespoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a deep bowl, mix the flour with baking powder and salt, grate the butter into the mixture, and gradually add water to knead a soft dough. Then transfer the dough to a floured board and knead until it reaches an elastic consistency.

Step 2

Divide the prepared dough into equal parts, roll them into balls the size of eggs, place them on the board, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Now roll each ball into a pancake about 20 cm in diameter. Fry in a pan without any fat. The flatbread should be pale with small bubbles on the surface.
