Vegan Spelt And Maize Tortillas Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the flour and maize meal and sift them together into the large bowl of your stand mixer.
• Make a well in the flour/maize mixture and add the warm water.
• With the dough hook, combine the ingredients into a soft dough.
• Remove and make a disc and cut it into 16 pieces. Form each piece into a ball and put in a bowl and cover with saran wrap.
• Heat your tortilla pan until its very hot.
• Roll each ball out very thinly and cook until the edges curl slightly, then flip the tortilla for a few seconds. Put on a dish and cover with a lid.
• When you are done serve the tortillas warm by heating lightly either in the oven or microwave.
• Fill with your favourite fillings.
• Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix all ingredients well.
• Cover and let sit in a warm place for 20 minutes.
• Divide into 8 equal parts and let sit, covered, another 20 minutes.
• Roll each ball out to a 6- or 7-inch circle shape. I've found it helps to flatten each ball with your hand. Then take the rolling pin and roll from the center outwards, back and forth a few times as you go around the circle. When it starts to get thinner, take your left hand (if you're right handed) and turn the tortilla a couple inches. Use your right hand to use the rolling pin (holding in the middle) and roll from the center outwards. Keep turning and rolling until it is paper thin.
• Preheat a skillet on medium high heat.
• Place a tortilla into the skillet and watch until bubbles form. This won't take long.
• After bubbles form, and the bottom is lightly brown (or there are darker spots), flip over, press down once or twice, and cook for about 30-45 seconds, or if smoke appears.
• Cook remaining tortillas, watching carefully, and place in a plastic bag, with wet paper towels in between them (or at least on top and bottom of stack) to keep them soft and moist.
• Refrigerate for later or remove the paper towels and freeze.
