Soaked Wheat Tortillas

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 12 hours 30 minutes
Servings 12 tortillas

Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour* I use freshly ground
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, coconut oil, melted butter, or ghee
  • 1 cup water you may need more or less
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, or whey*
  • 1.5 teaspoon natural salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour with the oil.
  • Add the water and vinegar. The amount of water needed will depend on the density of your flour, so add slowly until you have enough to make a soft dough.
  • Cover the bowl and leave at room temperature for 12-24 hours. The color of the dough will become a little darker after soaking, but after you knead it, the original color will return.
  • Add the salt and work it into the dough.

  • Divide the dough into 12 balls. One at a time, roll the balls into thin circles and cook on a hot skillet, just a minute or so on each side. Watch closely and don't overcook, as the tortillas will become too dry and hard to fold.
