Calories: 111kcal

Ingredients

  • 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)

Instructions

  • 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.
