There is almost 30% fiber in flaxseed. When combines in boiling water the fiber absorb the water gradually forming an elastic dough ball. That elasticity from the fiber makes perfect wraps that won’t break with any filling.
Flaxseed Wraps Keto + Vegan:
Ingredients
- 1 cup flaxseed - golden or brown or 1 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Spices - optional but delicious
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion flakes
Instructions
- In a blender, add the linseed, blend on high speed until it forms a ground/meal. You can also use flaxseed meal from the store but make sure the meal is thin as almond meal or it won't absorb all the water in the recipe and gets sticky.
- In a small saucepan, bring the water to boil.
- Remove from heat, stir in all the spices and add the flaxseed meal all at once.
- Stir immediately with a wooden spoon, until the meal absorb all the water, dry out and form a dough ball. As you stir, the dough will form, gradually un stick from the saucepan forming a dough ball. It take about 1-2 minutes max.
- Remove the dough ball from the saucepan and transfer onto a piece of parchment paper, to avoid the dough to stick to your bench top. The dough should not be too stick if it is it means your meal wasn't thin enough and that is ok. Sprinkle extra meal onto the ball to make it less sticky.
- Divide the ball into 4 dough ball of same size. Place one of the dough ball onto a piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top to avoid the dough to stick to the roller pin. Press the dough ball with your hand slightly to flatten and stick the top parchment paper piece to the ball.
- Roll with a rolling pin until flat but not too thin or it won't get soft when cooked. You aim for a 2-3 mm thickness. Peel off the top piece of parchment paper.
- Take a round shape - like saucepan lid - place on top of dough and cut around the edges to make a circle. Remove the outside dough, form a ball and reuse later for another wrap if you like.
- Remove lid and flip over the prepared wrap onto a nonstick pan - I used a ceramic non stick pan. Peel off the last piece of parchment paper and cook. If you are not using a non stick pan, spray some oil before adding the wrap into the pan.
- Warm under high-medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the border get dry - center is soft - and you can easily slip a spatula under the wrap to flip over.
- Cook for about 1 extra minute on the other side. Don't over cook or the wrap will get very crispy as tortillas chips ! It has to be dry but stay soft to roll.
- Place the cooked wraps on a plate.
- Repeat those steps with the rest of the batter until you form 4 wraps (or 5 if you use the leftover dough from the edge you can make an extra one ! ) It depends of how thick you made you wraps. You can reuse the same piece of parchment paper many times !
- Serve them cold with filling of your choice or hot - you can also rewarm them in a sandwich press with your favorite filling.
- Store in the fridge for 3 days, on a plate covered with a plastic wrap, to prevent them to dry.
