Healthy, Whole Grain Tortillas

EASY WHOLE WHEAT TORTILLAS
Makes approx. 16-18 6-8" tortillas

Ingredients:
4 ½ - 5 Cups fresh milled Soft White Wheat or Kamut or Spelt
½ tsp baking soda
2 tsp Sea salt

¼ Cup olive oil

1 ½ Cups warm water

Instructions:
Drizzle half of the oil over the top of dry mixture.
Mix with either forks or pastry cutter until almost a fine powder, and then repeat this procedure until oil is gone.

CAUTION - you MAY NOT end up using all the water.

Drizzle half of the water over the top of oiled flour and mix - should still be dry. Now while mixing drizzle down the sides of the bowl, turn bowl occasionally to make sure all sides are drizzled. Continue mixing (not necessarily pouring water) until a soft dough is formed. It should be moist and slightly gooey to the touch.

Plop dough out on a piece of cellophane cut long enough to form it into a tube (should be about the diameter and length of an inner cardboard of a paper towel roll) cover and let sit in fridge for at least 10 but no more than 30 minutes.

While tortilla press (or griddle) is heating divide into equal balls shaped like hockey pucks. Using a gram or oz scale to weigh the total dough and then each ball will make them uniform.

Begin pressing the ball that you first made first and work your way through the line of dough balls in that order. The setting of the hockey pucks helps the tortilla hold together better.

Follow manufacture directions on tortilla press or press out by hand with rolling pin.

Variations:
Add garlic salt instead of salt and olive oil as the oil for savory seasoned tortillas.
Add 1 TBS sugar or succanant and 1 tsp cinnamon to make sweet breakfast/dessert tortillas

EnJOY!

Awesome.. But is the baking soda a nessesity? Cause ive just used spelt flour, extra virgin olive oil, and warm water alone..

@nextinline777 ~ I'd say make a half batch and try it. I have a hunch that the baking soda does give it some pliability (is that a word?) but if you keep the dough moist enough you may be able to do without.

I'd love to hear how it works out!

Bet Blessings!

I'm watching your video because I'm about to experiment with the idea of making cactus/wheat tortillas, which are half the calories, less in carbs and fat free. I've read a lot about their health benefits and really want to try them but since they don't have them where I live I'm going to try making them. I sort of have an idea on how to inc. the cactus, I was just wondering if you might have any ideas for that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@bostero1 ~ Hi! Sorry I'm slow in replying. Have not gotten notices again for a while. I have never used cactus flour. Not even sure where I could get it. I'd LOVE to hear how your experiment goes.....I'm always up for learning about new food prep ideas!

I'd think it would work since cactus likely has no gluten. Tortillas then make an ideal experiment. Keep me posted!

Blessings,
