Olive Oil (Olive oil makes a HUGE difference in taste as well) 1 c. water Instructions Mix your flour and salt together in a mixing bowl. Add the Olive Oil and the water into the flour and salt mixture. Mix, Mix, Mix. Separate the dough into balls about the size of a golf ball. When you are through with separating the dough grab your rolling pin and your pan. You can also use an electric griddle. Turn on your stove to medium/medium high and put your pan on to begin heating. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough balls with a rolling pin as the pan gets hot. Place the rolled dough onto the hot pan to cook. As the tortilla is cooking roll out another ball. Flip your tortilla over when the tortilla gets golden on top and bubbles start to form. Keep an eye on your cooking tortillas to prevent burning! Everyone’s stove burns differently, so you’ll want to play with your heat to see what works best for you. Continue to roll out all your dough balls to make your amazing tortillas.

-Why oh why have all of my posts lately been about baking? Maybe something about the cold weather just makes me want to have fresh, warm dinner treats. During the summer it’s so easy to grab a quick snack of veggies or fruit, but the winter garden doesn’t offer such easy access.  So bear with me for a few more months and enjoy these easy DIY recipes for some made-from-scratch goodness that’ll warm your belly.
+Serves: 14 Tortillas
+Ingredients
+¾ c. Unbleached flour (the unbleached flour makes a difference in taste)
+¼ tsp. table salt
-I admit that from my list of easy-to-replicate-store-bought-items this doesn’t rank the highest. They do take a little bit of time and work, but only because each tortilla needs to be individually hand rolled.  For me an excursion that is worth the work every once in a while, so this would be something that I would be willing to make on a day off and have stored in the fridge throughout the week.
+¼ c. Olive Oil (Olive oil makes a HUGE difference in taste as well)
+c. water
-This generally goes without saying, but the recipe that I used does not taste like anything you buy in a store. The wheat offers a completely different taste and texture than any wrap I’ve ever had before.  If you’re looking for a stand-in for store-bought tortillas I’m not sure this is the way to go, but if you’re looking for a delicious but healthy medium to house your sandwiches then I recommend giving these guys a go.
+Instructions
+Mix your flour and salt together in a mixing bowl. Add the Olive Oil and the water into the flour and salt mixture.
