Water weight divided by flour weight is a useful starting comparison for tortilla formulas. It does not include oil and does not predict how every whole-wheat flour will roll.
What to compare
Distinguish the time per tortilla from the time to cook the whole batch. A recipe’s yield needs a piece count and size. Keep prepared tortillas covered as directed by the chosen method, and check the cooked center as well as browned spots.
Quantities in this example
- 240 g / 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 180 ml / 3/4 cup warm water, adjusted as needed
Reading the numbers
240 g flour and 180 g water
75% water before oil
