If you end up with any leftovers (we doubt it), you can just store them for another day.
Bottom line: This recipe is straightforward and makes a generous batch of heavenly tortillas.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Thick and Soft Tortilla Bread Recipe

Can I make this recipe without a seltzer?

The seltzer makes the tortillas a bit airier, but regular water will do in a pinch.

Can I make this recipe without a cast iron skillet?

For this recipe, cast iron works best. If you’ll use a Teflon-coated pan, make sure it has a nice, dense bottom.

Can I skip the honey in this recipe?

We wouldn’t recommend it. The honey is crucial for the texture, but you might get away with using sugar instead.

Are the tortillas gluten-free?

No, the original recipe isn’t gluten-free, but you can always swap the flour for a gluten-free substitute. Red Mill’s 1:1 blend would work well in this case.

How can I store the homemade tortillas?

Yes, it’s possible to freeze a batch for 1-2 months. That said, nothing beats the texture of freshly made tortillas!

Ingredients

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients (sans the water and salt) in a large bowl.
Add the water gradually and knead. When you’re almost done kneading, add the salt.
Leave the tortilla dough to rise for an hour.
Split the dough into 8-10 balls and let them rest once again for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle flour on your working surface and roll each ball from the center to the edges until it’s a thin sheet.
Place the rolled dough in a heated iron skillet.
Cook for 1-1.5 minutes, flip, and let the other side cook for about the same time.

Tips

The best skillet size for this tortilla recipe is 11 inches.
Once you take the tortilla out of the skillet, wrap it in a towel to keep it from drying out.
Don’t rush the dough rest period.
