First of all, let me say \u2013 if you have only had store bought bread wraps, then<\/p>\n

you haven\u2019t really had anything close to a good wrap.<\/p>\n

These have a texture that just isn\u2019t there- and an aroma that transforms the<\/p>\n

whole making and eating experience into an occasion!<\/p>\n

I patched together 3 different recipes to come up with one that used the<\/p>\n

ingredients and processes that I wanted to incorporate into my wraps.<\/p>\n

And we ate the first ones still warm from the skillet- this in itself makes the<\/p>\n

whole job totally worthwhile!\u00a0 I\u2019ve made them again when the first batch was<\/p>\n

used up- I have a feeling I will be making these up for a long time to come.<\/p>\n

Recipe for Quinoa and Spelt flat bread wraps-<\/p>\n

*quinoa (pronounced Keen\u2019-wha) is the seedy top of a vegetable related to spinach.\u00a0 It was used in the<\/p>\n

Andes region of South America thousands of years ago- you can read about the<\/p>\n

origin here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

**Spelt is a complex wheat originally found in the Mesopotamia region.\u00a0 It predates<\/p>\n

bread wheat \u2013 you can read about it here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ingredients :<\/p>\n

2 cups AP flour<\/em><\/p>\n

1 cup spelt flour<\/em><\/p>\n

1 1\/4 to 1 1\/2 cups boiling water<\/em><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup potato flour<\/em><\/p>\n

1 tsp salt<\/em><\/p>\n

1 tsp instant or rapid rise yeast<\/em><\/p>\n

2-4 TBS vegetable oil<\/em><\/p>\n

!\/3 cup<\/em> quinoa<\/em><\/p>\n

1 cup boiling water<\/em><\/p>\n

Method:<\/p>\n

Place 2 cups AP flour in small bowl and pour 1 1\/4 cups of boiling water into bowl and stir well.<\/p>\n

Set aside and cool for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Brown quinoa in skillet and add 1 cup boiling water.\u00a0 Cover and simmer until water is all absorbed,<\/p>\n

take off heat and cool.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl add all ingredients together and knead for about 10 minutes. (Make sure that the boiled<\/p>\n

flour and quinoa aren\u2019t too hot to the touch, but don\u2019t wait until they are cold either- warmish would<\/p>\n

be right.)<\/p>\n

Oil bowl and turn the ball of dough over so that it has an oily surface on top and cover and let raise<\/p>\n

for an hour.\u00a0 Separate into 8 to 10 balls.\"004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"005\"<\/a>\"006\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Roll out on lightly floured surface until very thin- then carefully transfer to lightly oil<\/p>\n

medium hot skillet<\/p>\n

.\"002\"<\/a>And cook until browned.<\/p>\n

\"003\"<\/a>Turn over and brown other side.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cover with tea towel to keep warm and use immediately.<\/p>\n

Or cool completely and put into plastic bag and use later.\u00a0 I kept them<\/p>\n

in the fridge and they were good for a week. ”<\/p>\n

\"009\"<\/a>\"010\"<\/a>\"011\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I grilled chicken slices, onion and green peppers, added some tomato and scallions-<\/p>\n

\"012\"<\/a>put down a layer of hummus and added a dollop of sour cream.<\/p>\n

\"013\"<\/a>Rolled them up-<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"014\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And YUM!\u00a0 Lunch was served!<\/p>\n

Jordan especially loved these and was quite glum when I gave the last one to his aunt.<\/p>\n

So I made them again on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Try these \u2013 they really aren\u2019t that hard to make- and you won\u2019t ever want to go back to<\/p>\n

the tasteless cardboard they sell in the grocery stores for wraps!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
