Whole What "Clean" Tortillas
Recipe from what may be my favorite site ever now that I've tried these DELICIOUS tortillas. These ladies are awesome:) Passionate Homemaking knows their stuff! There is so much information on this blog, I could get lost for a long, long time. Stop by and read up on natural eating, health and a wealth of topics.
Regardless of whether or not you try this recipe, you should really go read this article about the health benefits of soaking your grains. I learned a lot that I'd always vaguely heard about, but not actually researched. Go look!
3 cups whole wheat *See here for the other recommended options!
1 cup warm filtered water
1 Tbsp acid medium (I used apple cider vinegar) *See here for the other recommended options!
1/4 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
Directions:
1.Combine flour, water, melted coconut oil or butter and 1 Tbsp of acid medium. Cover and allow to soak at room temperature for 12-24 hours.
2.After soaking, add baking powder and salt to soaked flour mixture, kneading in the flour until the dough is workable but not too stiff.
3.Shape into 8 – 10 balls and let stand 10 more minutes.
4.Roll to form a 10 inch circle or use a tortilla press.
5.Bake on a lightly greased griddle till done (not browned). Toast for about 20-30 sec. per side.
Yield: 8-10 tortillas.
I didn't bother to form into balls, I don't mind square tortillas:) They would work wonderfully for sandwich wraps and pinwheel sandwiches this way! |
My girls, of course immediately made pinwheel sandwiches for a tea party:) Or rather "Prom" What I'd Do Differently Nex Time: I will definitely be making these again and again and again. I will experiment with using different seasonings, spinach for wraps, marinara versions for wraps. We LOVE sandwich wraps, and I love the 'less carbs' of a wrap... Thanks so much to PASSIONATE HOMEMAKING for such a wonderful recipe! |
