One Recipe I think every one should have on file....

This recipe is technically for homeade tortillas, however I used it also for the crust for mini pizzas. A friend of mine also used this recipe to make homeade poptarts by cutting it in rectangular pieces and spreading fruit preserves in between two of the rectangles and baking them.

So what is this 1 Awesome Recipe???!!!

Homemade Dough for Tortillas/Pizza Crust/and More!

3 Cups Flour (Wheat or White flour, both work great!)
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Warm Water

In a large bowl blend the flour and oil with a fork. Dissolve the salt in warm water and slowly add the salt water to the flour mixture until the dough comes together. Shape into a ball and knead for 2 minutes. Cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Divide dough into 12 golf ball size balls. Roll each piece into 8 inch rounds using a rolling pin. Next, cook the tortillas in a preheated skillet over Medium-High heat until each side is lightly browned. Unused tortillas can be stored in the fridge or freezer.

Now, something very important to know, it says to knead and let rest. However, both my friend and I have used this recipe without kneading it and letting it rest. It turns out great either way.

If you want to use this for the Pizza Crust then follow the same recipe however you will be rolling the dough out in to the size and thickness you want for the pizza. Next prebake the dough until it is about halfway done and either freeze or add the sauce and toppings and finish baking.

If you want to use this for the Poptarts then follow the same recipe and after rolling out the dough, cut it into the size of rectangles you desire. Place the rectangles on a cookie sheet and spread fruit or other desired contents and then place another rectangular piece on top and pinch the edges to seal. Bake at 350 until golden brown.
