Soaked Flour Tortillas Recipe Recipe
Recipe Description:
Whole grains, nuts and seeds contain phytic acid, which if not taken care of, can interfere with the absorption of minerals by the body. Because of this, I decided to work on my flour tortilla recipe, and here is the result. Success!
Recipe
Instructions:
Combine the whole wheat flour, water and kefir in a small bowl. Stir together, cover tightly, and let it soak for at least 7 hours.
Start heating your griddle or cast iron skillet on medium/low heat. Do NOT grease the griddle.
To the soaked mixture, add the oil, salt and baking powder.
Knead for 3 minutes on a lightly floured surface. (Use the unbleached flour for this or sprouted wheat flour.)
Divide the dough into 6 pieces and form them into little rounds by tucking under the edges.
Let them rest for 5 minutes.
One at a time, roll them out on the floured surface. They need to be fairly thin so they will cook up nice and flexible. Sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking.
When the first one is rolled out, grasp the edges with both hands and place it on the hot griddle.
While it is baking, prepare the next one, etc.
As it cooks, bubbles will appear on the top. Then flip it over and bake briefly on the other side until little brown spots are appearing on the underside. I use a long flat spatula for flipping.
Remove to a plate and cover with a clean dish towel.
These freeze well, and are so convenient to have on hand.
You may double or even make a larger batch of this recipe.
