From King Arthur's recipe. Hot water and high hydration result in a very soft, extensible dough; lots of flour on the rolling pin and counter are essential.

These look great! You should get yourself a tortilla press

Saves your counter and elbow grease, plus you can dial in the thinness a bit easier. Some wax paper also helps reduce the amount of dusting flour

    I have and use a tortilla press for corn tortillas, but have never tried it with wheat flour. Could be fun to try, or a good way to let kids get involved since rolling pins are a little tricky.

    These are so soft & resilient it's only about 3 passes to roll each one out and they rarely tear, it goes faster than I can cook them even when I'm making eggs & greens at the same time.
