Whole Wheat Tortillas
Soft whole wheat tortillas made of wheat flour, coconut oil, salt, and leavening! This is an authentic Spanish recipe for wheat flour tortillas using freshly ground flour! This soft, pliable flat bread makes large burrito-size tortillas perfect for wraps and quesadillas! These whole-grain tortillas will not disappoint!
Equipment
- 1 5-quart stand mixer, (I use a Kitchen-aid stand mixer)
- 1 tortilla press, (to flatten tortillas)
- 1 tortilla warmer or plastic bag
- 1 kitchen towel, (lint-free to wrap tortillas up)
- 1 pan or skillet, to finish cooking tortillas
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 6 1/4 cups whole wheat flour , (freshly ground hard red and white*)
- 2/3 cup coconut oil , (solid not melted)
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 2 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups hot water
Instructions
Directions:
- Cut the coconut oil into the flour. Stir in baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and add the water. Knead over high speed for 10 minutes. Transfer to a lightly greased pasty mat and rest covered for 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough in half then each half into 9 pieces to make 18 dough balls in total. Cover and rest for another 30 minutes.
- Place a dough ball into the center of a preheated tortilla press and press down to flatten.
- Remove the uncooked tortilla and set aside. Repeat flattening the other dough balls.
- Finish cooking tortillas on a preheated griddle over high for 30-50 seconds on the first side then flip and cook another 20 seconds on the other side.
- Transfer tortillas onto a kitchen towel and keep them wrapped up in a tortilla warmer or plastic bag until serving.
Notes
**If using grain berries, mill about 4-5 cups of hard white or hard red, this makes about 6 cups of flour. I like to use about 2 parts red and one part hard white. You can also use whole wheat flour from the store.
