I never eat store bought tortillas. You’ll need a cast iron pan & a rolling pin. After kneading the dough in step #4, you can cover the dough with plastic and let it rest for 10 minutes or longer. It seems to make it a little easier to handle. Always aerate your flour before measuring. - Jenny Jones
