Spelt/flax tortilla

2 C white Spelt flour
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 C. Water
2 TBL olive oil
3 TBL flax seed, ground
In large bowl, combine flour, ground flax & salt. Stir in water and oil. Stir well. Divide into 8 balls (using flour on your hands). Knead with flour a few times, roll out to 6 - 7 " with rolling pin. Fry in fry pan on medium heat, for approx, 1 min each side. Use a little oil the first time, you may not need oil for the remaining tortillas. I used a iron skillet, so not sure if it would work the same way with nonstick? There is something about home made tortillas that store bought ones don't compare. My next experiment is to add almond meal, reducing the flour, increasing protein.

  1. I used GF flour (1 2/3 cup) and almond meal (1/2 cup) and 1 TBL of Arrowroot instead of the spelt flour. It turned out great.
