Oat Flour Tortillas

Before Jazzy outgrew her wheat allergy, these tortillas were a staple in our house. Since I couldn't find a bread that was safe and tasted good, Jazzy used them in place of bread. I would make a batch then freeze them between sheets of wax paper. Whenever she wanted a piece of bread, I would just pop one in the microwave until heated through. Just be aware that once the tortillas are reheated they harden fairly quickly so make them right before you are ready to eat them. We still make them whenever we are craving healthy yummy tortillas.

Oat Flour Tortillas

2 cups oat flour (oats can be blended to create the flour)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 – 3/4 cup cold water

Combine the oat flour and salt. Slowly add the water, mixing with a fork to moisten the dough evenly. The dough should be able to be gathered into a ball. If the dough is too dry, just add a little extra water. Place the dough on a flat surface and knead well. Separate the dough into 8 sections. Flour the palms of your hands then shape each of the sections into 3" rounds. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Roll each of the rounds into a flat 7-8” circle. Place the tortilla in a hot frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, turn then cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Remove the tortilla to a plate and cover with a dish towel to keep warm. These tortillas can be kept in the fridge for a week or they can be frozen between sheets of wax paper then reheated in the microwave or in a skillet.
