Ingredients
Water
2/3 cup (Warm)
Butter
1 1/2 tablespoons (Melted)
Honey
1 tablespoon (Liquid)
Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup (Unbleached)
Instructions
1
In a microwave-safe cup, combine water, butter, and honey. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds until the butter is melted.
2
In a large mixing bowl, measure out the whole wheat flour.
3
Pour the water mixture over the flour and use a rubber spatula to combine gently.
4
Once mixed, knead the dough by hand for a few minutes until smooth. If the dough feels too dry, add a tiny bit of water; if it’s too wet, sprinkle in some additional flour. This step usually isn't necessary.
5
Divide the dough into roughly five equal portions and shape them into small balls. Place the balls back into the bowl.
6
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or paper towel and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps to relax the gluten for easier rolling.
7
After resting, take one ball of dough and flatten it between your palms. Put it on a piece of wax paper and roll it out to your desired thickness, ideally as thin as possible.
8
Heat a griddle or skillet over low heat without any grease.
9
Carefully peel the rolled tortilla off the wax paper and place it in the hot skillet.
10
Cook the tortilla for 2-5 seconds without moving it, then start flipping it every 5-8 seconds. Look for the dough to lose its shine and for small golden bubbles to form, indicating it's ready.
11
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and enjoy it warm or allow it to cool.
12
Store any leftovers in an airtight bag in the refrigerator for future use. If the tortillas become stiff after being refrigerated, microwave them for a few seconds to soften before using.
13
Serve your tortillas with your favorite wraps, fillings, or dips and savor the wholesome taste!
