Ingredients

  • 168 g wheat berries, hard
  • 168 g wheat berries, soft
  • 7 g sea salt
  • 10 g baking powder
  • 30 g extra virgin olive oil
  • 241 g water (HOT water)

Directions

  1. Mill the grains into fine flour.
  2. Add sea salt and baking powder, and mix together so everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Pour HOT water into the flour mixture, followed by the extra virgin olive oil.
  4. Mix together until well incorporated. I used a danish dough whisk.
  5. Cover tightly and let rest at least 30 minutes.
  6. Scaling and Shaping:
  7. 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.
  8. Let the dough rest another 15 minutes before rolling out into thin 9 - 10 inch circles.
  9. 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.
  10. Keep tortillas on a plate or something covered with a towel, so the steam stays in them, and keeps them soft.

Cinnamon Sugar Cereal Squares

These are NOT a dupe of the real thing, but they are crunchy and delicious and they stay crunchy for the whole bowl. They only get better after a minute or two in milk. Wow! Credit to my fiance, Ray, for telling me my sopapillas tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Download PDF
