Homemade Flour Tortilla (Shawarma Bread /Shawarma Wrap)

Flour Tortilla is one of the best flat breads ever. It is so easy to prepare and takes no time.  I make Flour Tortilla and Pita Bread, to use as a shawarma wrap and just love it.
Here's my pita bread recipe

 Flour Tortilla is usually made with baking powder, but I'll show you how to also prepare this flat bread with yeast.


For the Homemade Shawarma Bread( Flour Tortilla  with baking powder)
You'll need:
* 480 Grams(about 3 cups) Plain flour/ Whole Wheat flour
* 70 Grams(Half cup) Plain flour/ Whole Wheat flour(for dusting& Kneading)
* 1 cup Warm Water(tepid water)Or warm milk
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 3/4 teaspoon Salt
* 2 teaspoon melted butter/Olive oil/lard(optional)
(1 teaspoon is for oiling the bowl)
 You can add a little sugar if you like sweet bread :)

 
Preparation
* In a large bowl,Mix the flour , baking powder and salt together; add a teaspoon of oil/melted butter(if you're using any).
   Mix together and add more water as you mix, until you get a rough dough like the picture below.

 * Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-8 minutes until the dough is firm and elastic. 

    If the dough is sticky, dust some flour on it and knead to get a non-sticky,elastic dough.
 Then place the dough into a bowl and leave to rest for 10 minutes.

 

* Place on the lightly floured surface; cut out into golf sized balls.
      Flatten the ball with your palm and roll out flat; sprinkle some flour as you roll until you get a large circle. Then place on a floured surface and cover while you repeat the process for the remaining 
 balls.

     Tip: Remember to always dust with flour if it is sticky and flip the dough over so that it does not stick to the table.
   You can use a circle cutter to get a perfect circle...yes, you can cheat with this one...Lol
 
*Heat up a nonstick pan until it is hot. Then place the rolled dough on the pan.
When you begin to see air bubbles,Press down the bubbles with your spatula, flip over to the other side and cook until brown. 

 And your Homemade Flour Tortilla As (Shawarma Bread  or Shawarma Wrap) is ready...ENJOY!
Tip: to keep the bread soft and fresh after cooking, cover with a damp cloth.
 To preserve the bread for later use, wrap in a zip lock or poly bag. It will stay fresh in room temperature for 2-3 days.
