Preparation Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Incorporate the Oil
Add the vegetable oil to the flour mixture and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Water and Form Dough
Gradually add warm water to the mixture, stirring until the dough begins to come together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
Divide and Roll Out
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then roll out each ball into a thin circle about 6-8 inches in diameter.
Cook the Tortillas
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side or until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep warm in a clean kitchen towel.
Serve
Serve the sweet rolls warm, filled with your favorite sweet filling or toppings.
