Soaked Tortillas

I read a lot of blogs where people soak their grains prior to baking.  Due to my ignorance, I felt intimidated by the thought of soaking grains, but I was searching for a simple tortilla recipe and came across one at Keeper of the Home (click for the recipe/tutorial).  I tried the recipe and now I see how simple it is to soak grains (and also nothing like I imagined it would be).

I used hard white wheat to make these.  The next time, I will try soft white wheat since there is no leavening in the recipe.  The first batch that I made, I used apple cider vinegar in the soaking process.  The second batch, I used kefir instead of the apple cider vinegar.  We ate the first batch of tortillas as tacos on Friday night.  They were very enjoyable - even the kids liked them.  The second batch I made up and intended to try, but forgot all about them before I sent them home with my sister.  I did not get to try the kefir tortillas, but I did notice that the dough made that way was much less stiff and nicer to work with.  However, it was a bit more sticky, which was a problem.  I had rolled all the tortillas out and put them on a plate prior to cooking them. By the time I got to the bottom of the stack of uncooked tortillas, they had started to stick together. Next time, I will have to keep them separate prior to cooking.

Look at how flexible these tortillas are - no breaking when you fold them!
