Tortilla Bread

Tortilla Bread
Yield: 12

You will need:
3 cups of flour
4 TBS butter or shortening
about 1 1/2 cups water (may need more or less)
extra  flour





1. in a bowl put in flour and cut in butter until crumbly - like pastry. 
2. add in a little water at a time (2 or 3 TBS) and mix well with a fork until mixture is moist.
3. on a lightly floured surface, kneed dough for 4 or 5 minutes
4. divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape into medallions.  They should look like this:

5. With a rolling pin, roll out into a round (or round ish) shape very very thin.  It should look like this - you can eve see the table cover through the dough it is rolled so thin.

6. Heat a frying pan for 4 or 5 minutes at a medium heat. I like to add about 1/2 tsp of olive oil and coat the pan and THEN put the bread in, but that is not necessary.
7. once it starts to bubble a little bit more that shown in the picture below, flip it over. (if you're cool like my hubby, you can do it without a spatula.  I however am not that cool)

Make sure you watch closely or it will burn. And don't turn the heat any higher or it will burn (I ha a few casualties)

Once you are done, you will have a yummy stack of flat bread ready for eating.  WAY better than store bought!  Enjoy warm or cold.  You can store in a plastic bag and use just like store-bought bread.
