Flour Tortillas

 Quick and Yummy

125g discard
55g melted butter
80g water
200g flour
5 g salt.
Mix together for 3 minutes.
Let sit on counter covered for 30 minutes.
Separate into 8 pieces
Roll out paper thin and fry on each side!

Tortillas --whole wheat

4 c. flour (wheat, white, or a combination)
2 t. salt
1 t. baking powder
1/2 c. olive oil
1 1/2 c. boiling water

Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.  Mix in oil.  Stir in boiling water.  The dough should be soft and pliable but not sticky or stiff.  Adjust flour or water to get correct texture.  After dough cools finish mixing it with your hands.  Some oil lumps may remain.  Roll dough out into a circle (or close to a circle).  Grill the tortilla over medium-low heat on a griddle or in a dry pan.  (no oil)  When the tortilla bubbles up, flip it over and bake on the other side.  Makes 7 or 8 tortillas.  (Recipe can be doubled.)  If you want it to be a pita, bake on a stone in a 400 degree oven.
