AUTUMN SPELT TORTILLAS WITH PUMPKIN PUREE FILLING
MAKES 4 portions
SPELT FLOUR TORTILLA
Ingredients
2oo gms spelt flour (whole grain) + extra
150 gms coconut yoghurt (or any other non-dairy yoghurt)
3 pinches of Himalayan salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
1-2 pinches dried thyme
4 pinches fresh ground pepper
2 to 3 Tbsp water
Instructions
Pour 200 gms of spelt flour into a mixing bowl. Add the coconut yoghurt, salt, olive oil, thyme and pepper. Using a wooden spoon, mix it together.
Add 1 tablespoon of water first and mix it again. Add another tablespoon of water and use your hands to mix well until you have a slightly sticky dough. You may need only 2 Tbsp of water or you add another tablespoon of water if it does not form a nice dough yet. Then, knead the dough for a minute or so.
Let the dough rest for 15 to 30 minutes (cover with a kitchen towel). In the meantime, prepare the pumpkin puree and the extra topping.
After 15 to 30 minutes, divide the dough into 4 balls.
Dust a work surface with extra spelt flour and flatten one ball with your hands. Use a rolling spin to roll it into a tortilla.
Heat a non-sticky skillet on medium heat. Cook the tortilla for about 45 seconds on each side (or until you see air bubbles forming). Repeat it for the 3 other balls.
Keep them in the oven (50C fan), while you finish the filling and serve it warm.
