The Most Amazing Flat Breads In The World..
IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN A HOT FLUFFY HOMEMADE WRAP TO MAKE YOURSELF A KICK ASS SANDWICH ??
Alright, so we have been trying a bunch of recipes with my lovely husband, simply because we have a deep love for flat breads. As many of you know, Joaquin is Mexican, and it is really hard to find good tortillas here in Europe, so we have been trying out recipes and inventing ideas to replace missing ingredients, and I'm happy to say that we have done it!
We have merged several recipes to find the best tortilla/naan/wrap ever made. It is fluffy, soft, super light and delicious. I have to be honest, we never had any laying around for too long so I'm not sure how well they keep or if they freeze well, but I'll try to freeze a batch real soon to check.
From falafels to burritos, chapatis to tortillas, almost every culture has it's own version of the flat bread, giving you this many choices of meals to pair these kick ass wraps with ! Plus, commercial versions come with loads of additives and things you definitely don't want to eat, on top of un-recyclable packagings..
This recipe is super easy, super delicious, and super low waste. Am I using super too much ?
WITHOUT FURTHER A DO - HERE ARE THE MOST AMAZING (VEGAN + HEALTHY) WRAP IN THE WORLD :

3. DON'T GIVE YOURSELF THE CHOICE..
To make these flat bread, you can use all purpose flour or whole wheat. I've never tried it gluten free, but I will give it a try and keep you all posted.
The secret ingredient making these wrap super souple and light is potato ! A few traditional recipes include some milk in their wrap to give them the extra softness, but for an environmental and plant-based version, potato is wonderful.
These wraps go wonderfully with falafels, or as tortillas for burrito wraps. They can be as thin as you want them to be, and take just under 20 minutes to make. Resembling a lot a version of pizza dough, we also want to try using it in the oven with toppings, so keeping you posted on that one. In the meantime, here's the recipe !
Makes about 8 flat breads :
1 cup of cooked mashed potatoes
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 pinch of salt
Mash the potatoes really well in a blender, until they turn elastic and runny. Then simply spoon them in a bowl over the flour, add the salt and work the dough by hand. It should not be dry, but you can add some extra flour if you find it too sticky to work.
The dough should be very fluffy and soft.
Divide your dough into eight balls, then using a rolling pin, flatten them carefully, until reaching the size of a plate.
Place a pan on medium heat and toss a flat bread to cook for a few minutes on each side, until they are golden and harder to touch. You can devour them straight away, or keep them in the fridge for later, reheating them if need be.
I personally love to cook, and making these is a wonderful accompaniment for any dish. We have a version of Mexican rice and beans at least once a week, as well as currys and sandwiches, and I'm sure these are about to become a staple in our home.
Let us know how you enjoy them and stay safe everyone ! xx
