whole wheat tortillas

 I've made these white whole wheat tortillas a couple of times now, and they're great. Pretty easy, don't take too long, very tasty.  

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour (240 g)
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2/3 c warm water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together the flour, oil and salt.
  2. Slowly add the warm water while stirring until a rough dough comes together. Add a little extra water if needed.
  3. Turn the dough onto the counter and knead for about two minutes.
  4. Return to bowl and let rest for 20 minutes.
  5. Divide dough into 8 equal balls.
  6. Roll each ball into a circle - I use a rolling pin 
  7. Heat a pan over medium high heat and grease lightly.
  8. Drop one dough circle into the pan and let cook until bubbles form- about 1 minute.
  9. Flip over and cook another minute, pressing down with a spatula if needed. Repeat with remaining dough.
  10. Use immediately, store in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze.

Note: I slightly undercook them before putting into fridge or freezer, so that I can reheat them and cook them longer while cheese is melting on them.  

lower sugar peach jam

 I've got heaps of peaches and they are so good.  I went low on the sweetener with this peach jam and I think it's great.

Follow the Pomona Pectin recipe but use only 1/2 c of sugar for 4 jars (that's 25 grams per jar, which is usually at least 6 servings).

  • 4 cups peaches
  • lemon juice  
  • calcium water
  • pectin
  • 1/2 cup sugar 

So basically I'm just memorializing this here so I don't forget I went even lower sugar than the recipe because the peaches are so good!
