Description
Making low FODMAP tortillas from scratch, you can do that too! With this recipe you make tasty gluten-free and low FODMAP tortillas.
Ingredients
- 150 g brown rice flour (or white rice flour)
- 50 g tapioca starch
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 150 ml cold water
Instructions
I have adapted this recipe from this recipe by glutenfreebaking.com
- Mix the rice flour together with the tapioca starch, xanthan gom, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Stir the oil into the mixture.
- Add 100 ml cold water. Mix the dough with a spoon. Add the rest of the water little by little. I didn’t need to add the entire 50 ml. If the dough feels damp and sticks together, it is wet enough (think a play-doh consistency). If the dough is too dry, you can add a little extra water. If it is too wet, you can add some extra flour. It should be easy to work with.
- Divide the dough into 8 dough balls (on the picture you see 6 because I divided the dough into 6 pieces the first time I made this recipe, but I realised 8 works better)
- Put a piece of baking parchment on your kitchen counter. Put a dough ball on it. Put another piece of baking parchment on top. Carefully roll the dough into a thin tortilla with a rollin pin.
- Remove the tortilla from the parchment paper carefully, if you are not careful it can tear.
- Repeat this for the other dough balls.
- Heat a skillet. Put the tortilla into the cast-iron skillet when it is hot. You don’t have to add any oil, you bake the tortilla in a dry pan. Bake for 3-4 minutes on low-medium fire and then flip the tortilla. Fry for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the tortilla from the pan and put on a plate. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth.
- Repeat this for all tortillas.
Notes
Storage: the tortillas taste best when you eat them immediately. You can also store them for a day in a closed bag or box. Re-heat them 20-30 seconds in the microwave before serving or using them in a recipe. You can also freeze the tortillas.
Usage: you will notice that gluten-free tortillas are a little less soft and a little less easy to roll up than normal flour tortillas. This is just how it is with gluten-free tortillas, they will always be a little more breakable than normal flour tortillas. Before you want to use them, it is best to heat them up in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before. This makes them easier to handle.
