Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

To make the tortilla, start by mixing all the main ingredients until a sticky dough forms. The dough should be slightly tacky, but not excessively so.

Ensure that the mixture is well combined, and if it is too sticky, you can add a little extra flour.

Step 2

Roll Out the Dough

Place a piece of parchment paper on your work surface and roll out the dough into a flat round shape. The thickness can be about half a centimeter, as this will ensure it cooks evenly.

Once rolled out, transfer the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Bake the Tortilla

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and then bake the tortilla for approximately 25-30 minutes.

Keep an eye on it until it forms a golden crust, which indicates that it is cooked through and ready.

Step 4

Cool and Fill

After baking, allow the tortilla to cool for a bit. Once it is comfortable to handle, you can add your desired fillings.

Popular choices include fresh herbs, shrimp, cream cheese, or olives, but feel free to get creative!
