Directions For Classic Flour Tortillas Recipe
- Combine dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment (Alternatively, this can be kneaded and mixed by hand)
- Add the avocado shortening and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until well dispersed.
- Slowly drizzle in warm water. Depending on the humidity of your kitchen, age of your flour, and your altitude you may use slightly less or more water.
- Once the dough begins to form and mix, continue kneading for 8 minutes.
- Cover the mixing bowl and allow it to rest at room temperature for 25 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equal sized balls. Approx 115g each for 6 tortillas.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Using a rolling pin and a small dusting of bench flour, roll the dough ball out into a thin tortilla.
- Transfer to a dry, preheated skillet (approx 400F).
- Cook on the first side until bubbling, approx 3-4 min.
- Flip and continue cooking on the other side for an additional 2 min.
Transfer to a clean plate or bowl and wrap with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
