Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp table salt
- ¾ tsp baking powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½–¾ cup water
Directions
- Pulse the flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until blended.
- Add the oil and pulse a few times to blend.
- Start the processor and add the water a little at a time until the dough comes together.
- Remove the dough to a well floured counter top and knead a few times, shaping it into a round ball and adding flour as needed.
- Divide the dough into four pieces and form each into a tight ball.
- Cover all with some plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
- After the rest period, roll each piece into a 9 inch round.
- Heat a dry 10-inch cast iron frying pan until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates.
- Dock (perforate) one of the rounds with a fork to prevent the formation of bubbles.
- Cook the round in the dry pan until the bottom has a few brown spots, 1½–2 minutes. Keep the docking fork handy to knock down bubbles as they form.
- Flip the round and repeat the browning step as above.
- Remove to a warm plate and gently fold in half. Cover to keep warm.
- Repeat the last four steps with the other rounds.
- Fill each with the foods and condiments of your choice and enjoy.
