Pipin Hot Bakery Whole Wheat Tortillas Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Mix flour, salt, and baking powder with your hand.
• Work oil into the flour mixture until crumbly (I use my hands, it's more fun!).
• Add warm water and let rest 5 minutes.
• Take a small portion and pat it in a ball. Roll flat like pie crust on a cutting board.
• On a VERY hot pan, cook until bubbles form. Flip and cook until raised bubbles are dark brown. These will cook very fast. It takes some practice to get your technique in time with rolling, cooking, flipping, rolling, cooking -- :) Watch for burning!
• Note: Yield depends on the size you make your tortillas.

• Stir in the oil and water all at once, using mixer or a fork, and toss quickly.
• When dough can be gathered into a soft mass, turn onto floured surface and knead a few times.
• Form 8 balls of dough, dredge in flour, and store in a plastic bag to prevent drying until ready to be used.
• Flatten first ball of dough into a disk.
• Roll out dough on floured surface until 7 inches or larger with even strokes that do not reach to the edge, turning over frequently.
• Place tortilla in ungreased, frying pan that has been preheated to medium-high heat.
• Cook 30-40 seconds on one side, turn over with spatula and cook 30-40 seconds on other side., First side should be pale and sprinkled with brown spots and the other side will be blotched.
• Repeat process with other balls of dough.
• Stack tortillas on a plate as they are cooked and cover them with a dish towel, which will keep them soft.

SOFT 100% WHOLE WHEAT TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Weigh flour and put in food processor.
• Add potato flour, salt and baking powder. Process to mix.
• Start processor, and add oil and most of the water while running. (It will not have formed a ball yet.) Stop the machine and check the consistency of the dough by pressing some dough between your fingers. Add additional water JUST until a SOFT dough forms. Do not 'knead' the dough yet.
• Let dough rest for 10-20 minutes in the processor. This step allows the whole wheat to absorb the water. Check consistency again. Add flour or water to adjust, briefly processing to mix. When all is right, let the processor knead the dough for 10-15 seconds.
• Let dough rest in the processor for 10-60 minutes.
• Preheat a regular large skillet to medium heat.
• While it is heating, divide dough into 8 pieces (more or less pieces, depending on how large you wish to make them). Cover the pieces until you roll them out.
• Have some flour ready to sprinkle on your rolling surface. Use enough flour to keep the dough from sticking, and roll gently. If your dough is soft, you shouldn't have to worry about adding so much flour that they get dry. Flip the tortilla a few times while rolling.
• Test the skillet. Water should skitter across it, but watch that it is not TOO hot! Tortillas taste best when they are only lightly brown in a few spots. Cradle the tortilla in your hands, palms up, and place the tortilla quickly on the skillet. Gently arrange the tortilla so that it is flat. Until you are experienced, you might not want to try rolling and cooking at the same time!
• After a minute or two, there should be some small air bubbles appearing. Peek on the underside. It should just be light brown in spots. With a large spatula, turn the tortilla.
• The second side takes less time than the first, so stick around. Take a clean dishcloth and press lightly all around the tortilla, encouraging the formation of air pockets that lighten the tortilla.
• Place the tortilla on a platter and cover with a paper towel and then plastic wrap. When the second tortilla is done, place it on top of the first and cover again. After this I start turning the stack -- flip the stack so the last tortilla done is on the bottom. This keeps them soft.
• When they are cooler, you can separate them and put in a plastic bag in the fridge.
