The Best Flour Tortillas

Picture and recipe from KingArthurFlour.com
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup warm milk
1 tsp instant yeast

Combine all ingredients and beat at high speed for one minute to make a soft, slightly tacky dough.

Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Divide dough into 12 round balls, cover with saran wrap and let rest for 15 minutes on greased surface.

Flatten each ball with the palm of your hand and cover and let rest for 15 more minutes.

Roll out each ball paper thin and cook in heavy cast iron skillet over high heat until dark spots appear--about 20-30 seconds on each side.

Place cooked tortillas on a paper towel wrapped in aluminum foil.

These were the best tortillas I've made. I used them also for gyro wraps since they are thick and soft--like a flat bread. Very yummy. You will want to double the recipe.
