Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 cup Sorghum Flour also known as jowar atta
- 1/4 cup Pearl Millet Flour also known as bajra atta
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 3/4 tsp Salt adjust to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- Sift together the whole wheat flour, sorghum flour, pearl millet flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, gently rub the oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Knead the Dough
- Gradually add the hot water to the flour mixture, mixing with a fork initially. Once a shaggy dough forms, use your hands to knead it until it becomes smooth and elastic (about 5-7 minutes). If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time; if too wet, add a tablespoon of flour.
Rest the Dough
- Form the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in softer tortillas.
Roll and Cook the Tortillas
- Divide the dough into 8-10 equal-sized balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, 6-8 inch circle using a rolling pin. The thinner you roll them, the crispier they will be.
Cook on a Griddle
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and slightly puffy. As they cook, stack them on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve your warm multigrain tortillas immediately with your favorite fillings. They're delicious with tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or enjoyed plain!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Multigrain Tortillas
- Use a good quality flour: The quality of your flour will significantly impact the taste and texture of your tortillas. Look for freshly milled flours whenever possible.
- Don't overwork the dough: Over-kneading can result in tough tortillas. Knead only until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Adjust the water: The amount of water needed may vary slightly depending on the humidity and type of flour used. Add water one tablespoon at a time until you achieve the right consistency.
- Keep them warm: Stack the cooked tortillas on a plate covered with a kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
