- Yield: 8x 8" tortillas
- Prep Time: 35 min
- Cook Time: 10 min


Ingredients
1 Teaspoon (4.8g) Baking Powder
1.25 Teaspoon (8g) Fine Sea Salt
3 Tablespoons (42g) Lard or Vegetable Shortening
¾ Cup (170ml) Warm Water
Instructions
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine Caputo Gluten Free Flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt. Mix on speed 1 for 1 minute.
- Add the lard or vegetable shortening and mix until the mixture becomes broken and crumbly, about 1–2 minutes in a stand mixer.
- With the mixer on speed 1, slowly add the water and mix for 1 minute. Increase to speed 2 and continue mixing for another 2 minutes, until the dough is fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the dough onto a work surface lightly dusted with Caputo Gluten Free Flour.
- Using a bench scraper, divide the dough into 64g (2.2 oz) portions and roll each into a ball.
- Once all portions are rolled, cover them with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rest for 15–20 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into an 8-inch circle. Pro Tip: For clean edges, use an 8-inch dish and a paring knife to trace a perfect circle. You can also use a tortilla press if available.
- Once rolled, heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat. Cook each tortilla for 30–45 seconds, until bubbles form on the top and the underside develops some browned spots.
- Flip the tortilla and cook for another 45–60 seconds. It should puff slightly as it finishes cooking.
- Transfer the cooked tortillas to a tea towel. Stack them and loosely wrap to keep warm.
Notes:
- This recipe can be prepared by hand or using a stand mixer for quicker results.
- The temperature of the cast iron may fluctuate. Cast iron retains a lot of heat so it may gradually get hotter while preparing the tortillas and need to be adjusted down.
