- 3 ½ - 4 cups flour (we prefer bread, can use all-purpose or whole wheat - see post for details)
- 1 package instant yeast (2 ¼ teaspoon = 1 package)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups water
- ¼ cup vegan cane sugar (see post about other sugar source options)
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Then, add in the water.
Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined.
Sprinkle a little more flour on a clean surface and roll out the dough. It will be very sticky. Add a bit more flour and knead for a few minutes. *You want it to be sticky but not come off on your hands. Form a ball.
Cut ball into 16 equal pieces. *You can roughly do this or you can literally weigh out the pieces on a scale. Fold the ends under each other and roll into a ball. Repeat until all the pieces are rolled into balls. Cover with a towel while you work.
Take one ball and roll into a thin circle, about ⅛ inch thick.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place circle into pan (no oil) and a teaspoon water on each side (trying not to let the water touch the dough).
Cover with a lid and let cook for about 60 seconds until you start to see bubbles and slightly golden brown.
Flip, add another teaspoon water on each side, cover, and cook another 45-60 seconds.
While dough is cooking, roll out the next dough ball and repeat process until all your vegan flour tortillas have been made.
Use as desired.
Can be frozen or stored in an air tight container at room temperature for 5 days.
Warm before using.
