The ingredients for The BEST homemade whole wheat tortillas are:

4 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1.5 cups boiling water

Here is how you make The BEST homemade whole wheat tortillas:

Put flour, salt, and baking powder into Kitchen-Aid mixer and mix, using the paddle blade. Pour boiling water over this and mix thorougly. Switch to dough hook and knead for 2 minutes. This helps the gluten in the flour develop and absorb the water. Shape into 24 balls and let rest 20 minutes. Heat a cast-iron griddle or non-stick pan to medium high heat. Roll out on an unfloured, ungreased countertop. I roll mine into squares. Roll as thin as you can and stretch the dough when you pick it up to place it on your hot griddle. Cook on both sides. Slip the hot tortilla into a zip-lock bag and zip it up. Keep doing this. The trapped steam keeps the tortillas soft. If you want to freeze these, let the bag cool and then place it in the freezer.
