Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 275 g tapioca starch
- 25 g rice flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 3 tbs Extra light olive oil
- 1 egg (room temperature, beaten)
- 4 oz. freshly grated mozzarella cheese (room temperature)
- 2 oz. freshly grated Parmesan cheese (room temperature)
Instructions
- 1
Sift dry ingredients together. Set aside.
- 2
Heat milk, oil, and salt over low heat; do not allow to boil.
- 3
Add dry ingredients to milk and stir; mixture will be lumpy.
- 4
Transfer to mixing bowl and allow to cool, at least 15-20 minutes. It should be cool to the touch.
- 5
Add the egg to the dough mixture and mix well.
- 6
Add the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and beat until smooth and well combined. (Alternatively, you can use a food processor to blend all the ingredients into a dough. The milk and flour mixture should be complete cooled down in this case so as to not overwork the food processor.)
- 7
Using your hands, knead the dough a bit until it forms a cohesive ball.
- 8
Divide into two balls and flatten and compact into disks. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- 9
Lightly sprinkle work surface with tapioca starch.
- 10
Unwrap dough and cut into 8 wedges. (If you want slightly bigger wraps, cut the dough into 6 wedges.)
- 11
Roll each dough wedge into a ball and set aside on a plate, keeping it loosely covered with a clean towel to prevent them from drying out.
- 12
Make sure your work surface is dusted with tapioca starch. Flatten the dough ball with the heel of your hand, then roll it out thinner with a dusted rolling pin.
- 13
Heat a skillet over low-medium heat. Carefully transfer the tortilla to the pan.
- 14
Let the tortilla cook for about 2 minutes before flipping. Keep flipping the tortilla until both sides are nicely browned.
- 15
Remove the tortilla to a plate and loosely cover with a cloth or tea towel to keep warm.
- 16
The tortilla flatbread will keep in the fridge for up to a week. The tortillas will be rigid out of the fridge, but heating them up in a dry pan will soften them up again.
