How to make soft spelt tortillas

We use whole grain spelt flour for these tortillas, but you can use a mix of white spelt and whole grain spelt flours, or only white spelt flour, the result with be great.

What is great with this tortillas, that you can knead the dough in only 5 minutes and then quickly cook them on the stove.

Making the dough & Rolling tortillas

  1. For the dough, combine whole spelt flour, baking powder and salt, add olive oil and lukewarm water and knead a compact dough. Leave it to rest shortly then you are ready for cooking tortillas.

  2. So place cast iron griddle to heat while you roll out tortillas. This recipe makes 6 regular tortillas so divide the dough into 6 balls. For rolling tortillas you will need a proper rolling pin. Take one ball of dough, flatten slightly into small disc with your fingers, then place on a lightly dusted work surface. Dust also a rolling pin as the dough is slightly sticky.

  3. Start rolling out from the centre of the dough into all directions until you get a thin round (20cm diameter). Your tortillas are ready to be cooked! While you rolling out tortillas, kept the rest of the dough covered so it doesn't dry out.

How to cook tortillas

Tortillas are cooked on the stove - on cast iron griddle or other heavy bottom pan on a medium-high heat.

Once tortilla is rolled out place it on the hot griddle and cook until it starts to puff up. This will take 30-40 seconds, then flip on the other side and cook for another 20-30 seconds. Transfer them to plate and cover with kitchen towel or another plate to keep them warm while cooking the rest of tortillas.

A trick to perfect tortillas is to cook them quickly on the high heat so they don't have time to dry out what makes them soft and pliable.
