Soft Wraps
Fragrant, pillowy and supple these soft wraps are simply gorgeous.
For a simple yet wonderful meal, fill them with salad, tomatoes and a bit of lamb. Or serve them as appetizer for “Arabian Night” feast with some hummus, harrisa or baba ganouch.
This bread is perfect for entertaining: you can prepare them earlier in the day and store them in a plastic bag.
Ingredients
(from King Arthur Flour as found on the blog ‘What Megans Making‘)
8 wraps
375g – 400g (3 to 3 1/4 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
300ml (1 1/4 cups) water
30g (1/4 cup) potato flour (OR 1/2 cup potato buds or flakes)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3-1/2 package 1 teaspoon instant yeast
Recipe
- Bring the water to a boil.
- Place 250g (2 cup) of the flour into a bowl. Pour boiling water over the flour and stir until smooth. Cover the bowl with cling film and allow to stand and cool a little for 30 min.
- In a sperate bowl combine potato flour and the remaining 125g (1 cup) flour, salt and yeast. Mix with the dough and then knead for a few minutes until soft. (It is such a soft dough that I do this by hand – you could however use a mixer). The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film and allow to rise for about 1 hour.
- Devide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll into balls, return to the bowl, cover and allow to rest for 15 -30 min.
- Roll each ball into a 20cm (7 inch) circle. Fry in a frying pan without oil until the wraps are golden with light brown spots. Transfer to a kitchen towl. Stack the wraps to keep them soft. Serve the immidiately or allow to cool.
- Once cooled you can store them in a plastic bag for a few hours. When you are ready to serve them reheat in a frying pan or oven.

I think these might need to be my next step on the road to conquering bread.
These look delicious. These would be perfect with grilled meats or vegetables!
Thank you so much! Yes, I think these would work great with grilled meat. I had some with lambchops and loved the combination (must post that recipe soon ;-> )
Never seen this method of dough mixing. I am certainly eager to try!!!!
It is one of the things I love most about cooking: there is always something new to discover and try 🙂
