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.
Scaled Ingredients
- 1400 g wheat berries, Spelt
- 28 g sea salt

Directions
-
Mill the grains into fine flour.
-
Add sea salt and baking soda (if using), and mix together so everything is evenly distributed.
-
Pour in olive oil and mix well into the flour until sandy.
-
Add the hot water.
-
Mix together until well incorporated. I used a danish dough whisk, but a spoon or spatula will work fine.
-
Cover tightly and let rest at least 30 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.
-
Let the dough rest another 15 minutes before rolling out into thin 9 - 10 inch circles.
-
Heat a skillet or comal to 450 F. Cook each one for about 20 second on one side, flilp, and a few seconds later flip it back over again. Cook for about a minute total before removing from the skillet.
-
Keep tortillas on a plate or something covered with a towel, so the steam stays in them, and keeps them soft.
