For those of you interested in making that bread recipe I posted about a week or so ago here, I tried something new with it the other night. I didn't like the olive oil, or vegetable oil after taste is seemed to have. So, last night I tried it with 1T apple sauce and 1T melted butter, in place of the oil. I liked it much better this way. So, when you are wanting more home made bread, give it a try!
If you are wondering what to do with your left over wheat flour if you don't want to make bread anymore, try this recipe for home made tortillas.
I just tried it today, and made Eden a quesadilla, and a ham tomato spinach wrap for myself. It was delicious!
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 T olive oil
1/2 cup warm tap water or milk (mine was a little dry so I just added a little more water a little at a time)
Combine flour, Baking powder and salt. Add olive oil and stir until well combined. Put in warm tap water/milk a bit at a time until dough can be gathered into a ball. Add more water if needed 1 T at a time. Knead on floured surface 15-20 times. Let dough rest for 15 minutes (I didn't let it rest. I am impatient. But it would probably puff up better if I let it rest) Divide dough into 10-12 equal portions and shape into balls. On floured surface roll out ball from center into a circle. (I find the easiest way to do this is to cut a freezer glad bag into two - along the seems- Then put the dough between the two pieces in the center, roll it with a Pam Spray bottle -cause I don't have a rolling pin- and then take it out of the 2 pieces of plastic. Cook on ungreased skillet over medium-high heat on each side about 30 seconds or until puffy.
Fun and easy (and frugal). You can store the left overs in your fridge or freezer.

your bread recipe is a regular in our house- havent bought any bread since i tried it out the first time! i dont mind the oil taste- hadnt noticed it- but maybe now i will and will have to try out this new version! :)

I think the oil thing just bothers me sometime. I have been hyper-sensitive to tastes and smells this past week.
