Instructions – How to make Flour Tortillas in a Bread Machine

Add your ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order listed. Dry ingredients go last. Then, press the ‘dough’ setting on your bread machine.

When the dough cycle is complete, take dough out of the machine and place it on a floured countertop. Roll the ball into a long log shape, then divide the dough until you have 8 sections.

Roll each section into a small round ball, let rest 10 minutes.

Using a rolling pin, roll from each direction, beginning to flatten your ball into a tortilla shape. Continue until your tortilla is 8″ in diameter. If you want perfect shaped tortillas, try using a tortilla press.

Place tortilla on a warmed dry skillet.

Heat until dough starts to puff up a little then flip, you will see little brown spots. Cooking time will vary. On med/high heat, cook tortillas 30-40 seconds on each side.

Serve warm. Keep tortillas warm in a tortilla warmer.

No Bread Machine? No problem!

These yummy flour tortillas can be made with a stand mixer, or by hand.

How to make flour tortillas with a stand mixer-

• Add a dough hook to your electric stand mixer.
• Pour the flour, baking powder and salt into the electric mixing bowl.
• Add the butter and water to the bowl.
• Lower the dough hook into the mixing bowl.
• Mix the dough on low/med speed for 3-5 minutes. 
• Pour the tortilla dough onto a cutting board. Sprinkle some flour on the cutting board (before you pour out the dough) in order to prevent the tortilla dough from sticking to the cutting board.

Whether you use the bread machine, electric stand mixer or mix the tortillas by hand, you will follow the same steps to shape and cook your tortilla, found above or in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

How to make flour tortillas by hand-
