In summer, tortillas make a great wrap to have for lunch when you don’t feel like bread or anything too heavy. Plus you can stuff a heck of a lot of salad into a tortilla!<\/p>\n

Once again, I had none in the pantry, so decided to try my hand again. I’d previously made spelt tortillas<\/a> without a great deal of success, so this time I made regular flour tortillas.<\/p>\n

I used a recipe from Trudy Olive, a Thermomix user and recipe designer extraordinare.<\/p>\n

Flour Tortillas<\/b>
\n320g plain flour (I use bread making flour – Wallaby Brand)
\n30g olive oil (3 Tbsp)
\n1 tsp salt
\n1 tsp baking powder
\n180g warm water<\/p>\n

Place all into Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 seconds at speed 6 to combine or whizz in the food processor until it forms a ball.
\nSet to knead position and knead for 3 minutes or knead by hand. Turn out onto board, cover and rest for at least 10 minutes
\nForm into 8 balls – I like to make sure all are the same size, so I weigh them:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Roll each piece, first between two sheets of baking paper:<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

If dough keeps shrinking back, it needs further resting. Continue to roll out until you have a roundish shape – sometimes a small rolling pin will be better, rolling from the middle outwards and turning.<\/p>\n

Have the frying pan on medium heat and spray with oil. Peel the tortilla off the paper and place into pan, pressing out to prevent it shrinking or folding on itself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Turn when the bubbles appear on the surface. Press down if large bubbles are forming underneath.<\/p>\n

Place onto a dinner plate and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Or pop into your ThermoServer. Continue cooking each one.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The finished tortillas on a large dinner plate.<\/div>\n

I made wraps with chicken nuggets, grated cheese, tomato, lettuce and mayo. They went down a treat.<\/p>\n

These are best kept on a plate enclosed in a plastic bag. They re-heat really well in the microwave for 15 seconds.
\nThese tortillas make excellent vehicles for dips, especially Mexican or Turkish style dips. Cut into pieces with scissors, spray with a little oil and place in oven for 5 or 10 minutes until dry and crisp. You can sprinkle seasoned salt over them once sprayed with oil for extra flavour.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
