Preparation time: 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Ingredients for 2 wraps:
- 90 g (about 1 cup) gold flaxseeds (or pre-ground flaxseed meal)
- 90–110 ml (approx. ⅓–½ cup) water
- 1 tbsp spices of your choice (e.g., salt, pepper, turmeric, chili, dried herbs)
Optional Tools:
- A Thermomix or high-speed blender for grinding whole flaxseeds
PREPARATION
- Grind the flaxseeds:
– If using whole flaxseeds, grind them into a fine meal using a Thermomix (30 seconds on speed 10) or a high-speed blender. You can also opt for store-bought flaxseed meal for convenience. - Prepare the dough:
– Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan.
– Stir in the spices of your choice. Popular options include turmeric for its vibrant color and anti-inflammatory benefits or chili for a spicy kick.
– Turn off the heat and quickly stir in the flaxseed meal until a dough forms. - Cool the dough:
– Allow the dough to rest and cool to room temperature before handling. This step ensures easy rolling. - Shape the wraps:
– Divide the dough into two equal portions.
– Place one portion between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin circle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
– Peel off the top parchment paper and trim the edges for an even shape. - Cook the wraps:
– Preheat a dry, non-stick pan over medium heat (no oil needed).
– Carefully transfer the wrap to the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and firm. - Repeat:
– Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the second portion of dough.
- Freezer-Friendly: Prepare the dough in advance, roll it out between parchment paper, and freeze it for later use. When ready, simply thaw, place in a hot pan, and cook as directed.
- Customizable: Experiment with different spice combinations to match your desired flavor profile. Add Italian herbs for a Mediterranean twist or curry powder for a hint of spice.
- Storage: Store cooked wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
