Directions
-
Mill the grains into fine flour.
-
Add sea salt and mix together so everything is evenly distributed.
-
Mix together until well incorporated. I used a danish dough whisk, but a spoon or spatula will work fine.
-
Add the very hot, almost boiling water.
-
Add the olive oil and knead a few minutes by hand or by mixer 1.5 minutes.
Scaling and Shaping:
-
Divide into 8 equal dough balls. I eyeballed it by forming a square and dividing into quarters, then divide each quarter in half. Roll into balls.
-
Roll out into thin 9 - 10 inch circles about 1/16” inches thickness.
-
Heat an electric skillet or comal to 450 F or use medium low on the stovetop. Cook each one for about 30 seconds on one side, flilp, and a 5-10 seconds later flip it back over again. Cook for about 30 more seconds as the tortilla puffs up.
-
Keep tortillas on a plate or something covered with a towel, so the steam stays in them, and keeps them soft.

100% Spelt Tortillas
We swap out the grains for these spelt tortillas, and I split up how I did the batch halfway through. The first half doesn’t use leavening, and the second half used just a tiny sprinkle of baking soda kneaded into the dough. Both delicious with different results. Download PDF
