Gotta have some carbs!

I cant find any of the Feingold 'approved' tortillas in our area. Tortillas became a staple food in our diet while living in NM. So, here is Meya rolling out a tortilla.......

And here is one cooking....

And the final product!! They taste really good. And when they were thicker, they were a little like Naan. And when they were super thin and cooked longer, they became chips! So, theres no messing these up :-)
Heres the recipe:
2 c all-purpose white flour (can substitute one cup for whole wheat if you like)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil
3/4 c warm milk
Mix flour, powder, salt and oil. Slowly add warm milk. Stir until sticky ball forms. Knead for 2 minutes then cover with towel for 20 minutes. After 20 min. divide dough into 8 pieces and roll into balls. Let rest covered for 10 minutes. Then one at a time mash into flat pancake and roll from center out until it's very thin and about 8 inches in diameter. ( I did this on a lightly floured glass cutting board and they peeled right off when I went to cook them.) They won't be perfectly round. Keep rolled out dough covered until ready to cook. (I rolled and cooked at the same time) Cook on hot dry skillet 30 seconds on each side. Let cool and enjoy. Can freeze as well. These are very easy to make and taste great. Best of all you don't need shortening which I can't seem to find in any store!!



I finally found a bread maker at a thrift store, and what a great $3 investment it has become! This loaf actually lasted long enough to get sliced. The ones before it were a hard shell when I found them, so I guess that means Calvin likes the soft inside loaded with butter as much as I do :-)
Heres my favorite break recipe so far:
White bread
Ingredients
• 1 1/2 ounces warm water
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Directions
Put ingredients in the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer (usually wet ingredients followed by dry ingredients and yeast in middle) Use the white bread cycle.
Walk away and wait until it's done!
