Yeast dough tortillas in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for making yeast dough tortillas in the oven. Take flour of the highest or first grade. Warm up the milk a little, it should be slightly warm. Flax seeds can be replaced with sesame seeds or sunflower seeds.

2. Step 2:

   

   To activate yeast in a small container, combine yeast, sugar and 50 ml of milk, mix. Leave the mixture for 15 minutes until a foam cap forms.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve into a wide, high container. This will improve the baking properties of flour due to the contact of all its particles with oxygen in the air.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a suitable sized bowl, combine the rest (150 ml) milk, salt, sugar (0.5 tsp), mix.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour in the activated yeast, mix well.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour in the sifted flour. I do this through a sieve, thereby sifting it twice. Do not pour all the flour at once, it may need less.

7. Step 7:

   

   Mix the dough first with a spoon. If the dough is sticky enough, add a little more flour, stirring the dough at the same time. It is important to monitor the consistency of the dough so that it does not turn out to be steep and heavy, otherwise the finished cakes will turn out to be too dense.

8. Step 8:

   

   The dough should be soft, pliable, almost non-sticky to the hands. Cover the dough with a towel and leave in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours. The rise time of the dough will depend on the ambient temperature, as well as on the activity of yeast.

9. Step 9:

   

   The dough should increase in volume by 2-2.5 times. In the warm season, usually all processes occur faster, so do not forget to watch the test so that it does not peroxide.

11. Step 10:

    

    Knead the dough, put it on the table, sprinkled with flour. Divide the dough into equal parts depending on the desired size of the tortillas.

12. Step 11:

    

    Mash each piece of dough into a round tortilla. You can use a rolling pin, but the dough is quite docile and the cake is easy to form with your hands.

13. Step 12:

    

    Place the tortillas on a parchment-lined sheet. Leave to rise for 15 minutes, covering the top with a light towel.

14. Step 13:

    

    Beat the egg lightly, mix with vegetable oil and water.

15. Step 14:

    

    With the resulting mixture, lubricate the cakes that have come up on top.

16. Step 15:

    

    Sprinkle each cake with flax seed.

17. Step 16:

    

    Bake the tortillas in a preheated 180C oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

18. Step 17:

    

    Cool the finished tortillas a little and serve. Enjoy your meal!
