Homemade Spelt Tortillas
Tonight's venture was to try making tortillas from scratch - success! This recipe was super easy and turned out really well with extras for the freezer.
Ingredients
2 cups of spelt flour
1 tsp salt
1.5 tsp baking soda
1 T olive oil
.75 cup of hot water
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cover bowl and put in a warm place for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, separate the dough into 8 or 16 pieces depending on the size of tortillas you want. I separated the dough into 12 pieces to have some large (~7") and some small (~5"). Let set for another 20 minutes.
Roll the dough out very thin (I didn't need any extra flour - the dough didn't stick to the rolling pin or the cutting board). Heat a skillet on medium and place tortilla into the pan (no cooking spray necessary). The tortilla will begin to bubble - flip it and heat it for an additional 30-60 seconds. Place tortillas on a plate, separated by damp paper towels to preserve the softness.
They were fantastic fresh; I put my leftovers in the freezer (minus the paper towels) for another time!
