Flour Tortillas
See more in Dough Cycle Recipes
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 cups bread flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons shortening 1/2 cup water Place all ingredients in your machines fully assembled pan, in the order specified by your machines manual. Select the dough cycle and press start. The dough should form a nice ball of dough. You may need to add a table spoon of water or flour to get it there. when the dough cycle is finished kneading, stop the machine and remove the dough to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in to 8 equal size chunks. On a lightly floured surface coat both sides of the ball with flour and roll out to a shape that is as round as you can get. Cook the tortilla in a heavy skillet that has a light coating of oil or pan spray. Cook for 2 minutes on each side or until there are little black burnt looking spots. Remove from the skillet to a plate and cover with a towel. The tortillas should not be stiff. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 166 Calories; 5g Fat (29.5% calories from fat); 4g Protein; 25g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; 0mg Cholesterol; 134mg Sodium.

This recipe has obviously never been tested by anyone responsible for publishing this website. Followed the directions to a “T” and received a runny, pancake batter-like substance that could not be salvaged for any sort of use. Thanks for letting me waste ingredients that could otherwise have been used for a good loaf of bread.

TRY AGAIN, you did not get the ingredient measurements right.

Thank you for such a great recipe. This is exactly what I have been looking for; a tortilla recipe that won’t break my bread machine. I used the pizza dough setting on my machine which worked out better than any of my past attempts to make tortillas. 🙂
In the future may try dissolving the salt in the water before putting it in my bread machine. Yep, probably common sense for most cooks, not for me though lol.
Thanks again.

What can I substitute the shortening with? And how much in quantity? Thx.
