In another bowl add flour & salt, then pour the yeast mixture over the flour and mix with wooden spoon. Place the dough in a large container, and cover well. but do not close completely, there needs to be one corner left open to let the gases escape. Let the dough rise for 2 hours up to 18hours. The dough will be very sticky and elastic. Add flour to your hands, and divide the dough in two pieces. Add more flour to your hands as necessary. Shape the dough into the desired shape for your bread and place it seam down in a hot Dutch oven. Sprinkle some more flour on top of the loaves. Let the loaves rest for another 30 minutes so that they can rise a bit. Preheat oven to 450 F degrees. Bake the bread for 30covered then about 8-12minutes uncovered til browned and crisp Cool on a rack.

These are a little bit of work, rolling all out but they cook fast. You’ll never go back to store bought again! This is a basic 5 ingredient flour tortilla recipe. 3CUPS all-purpose flour 1TSP salt 1TSP baking powder 1/3CUP vegetable oil, shortening, or lard 1CUP hot water In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt & baking powder. Then add vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is coarse crumbs. Pour in warm water and stir to combine. Knead with well-floured hands until the mixture comes together into a dough. Transfer dough to a well floured work area. Divide into 16 roughly portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Cover flattened balls of dough with a clean kitchen towel, allow to rest for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour. When ready to cook, warm your pan. I use my Nordicware nonstick grill or a cast iron frying pan. Roll each dough ball into a circle about 6”. Try not to stack the rolled tortillas on top of one Another. As you see I fill my island lol.Transfer tortillas one at a time into the hot skillet. Cook for about 1 minute, until small bubbles form on the top and brown spots form on the bottom surface. If it takes much longer than a minute to see golden brown spots on the underside, increase the heat slightly. Flip and cook the other side for about 30 seconds. Remove from the pan and stack cooked tortillas loosely wrapped in a clean kitchen towel. This will keep them soft. It may take a couple to get your pan to the temperature you want. If they become hard and not pliable, unfortunately you have cooked them too long. These are awesome, they are so many uses. They freeze well. Now for this recipe. I did some herbed ones. So when adding your flour, salt & baking soda. Add a half to a TSP of each spice you want to add. I used 1TSP oregano, 1TSP garlic powder, 1/2TSP onion powder.
