GLUTEN FREE WRAPS

I found a great recipe for a gluten free wrap. I've adapted it to how I like it. The original recipe is at:www.glutenfree.wordpress.com (Kate has some other great recipes too!!!) I usually use Orgran's GFG Substitute, but in this batch I used Xanthan Gum as I couldn't get the gfg. The recipe calls for Xanthan gum, if you use the gfg the mixture is more like a cake mix batter than a dough. But still works and still tastes great!! You can make these in a mixer if you don't have a Thermomix!!

Gluten Free Wraps
1 cup Glutinous Rice Flour (120gr if using the scales on tmx)
1/2 cup Tapioca starch (60gr - tmx)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 tablespoon yeast
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water (190gr - tmx)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons oil (I use Rice Bran oil, you can use Olive Oil)
2 Eggs

Thermomix method:
Preheat oven to 180c.
Put the dry ingredients in TMX and mix on speed 4 -5 for 5 seconds. Add the wet ingredients and mix on speed 5 - 6 for 10 seconds. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again for 5 seconds if needed. Line a pizza tray with baking paper and spoon or pour some mixture onto tray and spread thinly (to make it easier wet the back of the spoon with water, then spread). Bake for 13 - 15 minutes. When cooked, cool on wire rack. When cold, roll in baking paper, then store in ziplock bag in freezer. When you want to eat one just defrost, it will only take a few minutes. Can be eaten with salad ingredients or even spreads. Can even be toasted in a sandwich press!!!


Mixer method:
Preheat oven to 180c.
Put the dry ingredients in mixer, add the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined, then mix on med/high for about 4 minutes.Line a pizza tray with baking paper and spoon or pour some mixture onto tray and spread thinly (to make it easier wet the back of the spoon with water, then spread). Bake for 13 - 15 minutes. When cooked, cool on wire rack. When cold, roll in baking paper, then store in ziplock bag in freezer. When you want to eat one just defrost, it will only take a few minutes. Can be eaten with salad ingredients or even spreads.
