Author: Gwen Brown
Recipe type: Bread
Cuisine: Middle Eastern/Mexican
Serves: 12
Ingredients
¾ c. sourdough starter, straight from the fridge
3 cups whole wheat flour*
¾ c. water
2 T olive oil
pinch salt
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a bread machine or in a bowl.
If you're doing the recipe by hand, combine until dough comes together and then knead until smooth.
Place in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover. Let rest for 24 hours before shaping.
If using a bread machine, turn to dough setting, and allow to knead. Turn off machine, and allow to rest for 24 hours.
To shape: divide dough in half, then divide each half into half again.
Pinch each of the pieces into equal thirds, which should give you 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, and cover resting pieces with a damp paper towel while you work with and roll/bake the tortillas.
Lay out a piece of parchment paper to roll out the tortillas.
Heat a cast iron pan or griddle to medium high heat.
Take one ball of dough at a time, and roll it as thin as you can get it.
Gently peel up from parchment and place on the griddle for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes, until slightly browned.
Flip and cook other side.
Continue to roll other tortillas while you cook.
Allow to cool, and store in an airtight bag in the fridge.
Notes
*If you like a tortilla with a firmer, heartier texture (like Naan), then use hard white wheat. If you prefer a softer, more tender tortilla, then use a soft white/winter wheat or whole wheat pastry flour After removing the sourdough starter for the recipe, re-feed your starter with an equal amount of flour and water (about a cup of each) and replace mix to the fridge.
I figure these to have about 22 net carbs and about 3 grams of fat, plus 5 grams of protein per tortilla-for 1/12th of this recipe. The carbs are not adjusted for sourdough process, because I have no idea how to do that. :)
These would be a Trim Healthy Mama E food.
