Xanthan gum is most often grown on corn. These sound great but they’re not corn-free. Xanthan gum is most often grown on corn.

Love this website! I have to agree with the hints from others & thoughts of my own: -use parchment paper, top and bottom to roll instead of messing with flour -tortilla press($20-$25 at most)makes them pretty and round, but not any thinner. My kids eat it better when it looks 'real' -bean flour (garb. or I grind my own white bean) is a better flavor and texture vs. all rice -roll and freeze the uncooked tortillas (parchment in between or freeze in a single layer on a tray then stack once frozen. Quick to cook up. Better than freezing cooked ones. They tend to become crumbly. As with all GF breads, they are best fresh. -can leave thicker and deep fry for Indian Fry Bread (or finger pulled to shape) -followed the recipe and added baking pwd as in my wheat flour recipe. I did not notice a substantial difference. -doesn't stay well when rolling for a wrap, but folding for a flatbread worked better. (toothpick still). Yum!

It has been a long time since I had a tortilla that was so soft and enjoyable. No more store bought, dry rice tortilla's for me. I froze the extras and took one to work the next day. Used the toaster to slightly thaw it. I was impressed that it was still soft and I could roll it into a 3 sided roll. Nice. I need to make more this weekend. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Now I need to learn to make gluten-free ones. I notice your recipe doesn't call for cooking oil or baking powder. Why??? Aren't these ingredients both really needed for soft pliable tortillas???

No more rolling a million tiny corn tortillas that may or may not stay together to make enchiladas. These STAY together when I roll them up, plus I don't have to roll up so many because they are bigger. I am baking chicken enchiladas right now and cannot wait to try them. I think the two biggest tips I took from this was to flip and rotate the dough *frequently* and to keep a lot of flour on hand. The rolling was a lot easier than I had thought. The dough was initially very sticky in the bowl and I think I'll just use a fork to mix it next time. Once I dumped a few spoonfuls of flour on the dough in the bowl, it became a lot easier to handle. No big deal after that. I also thoroughly washed my hands after the mixing so handling was an entirely different stage, no clumping onto dough that was still stuck on my hands. So glad to find this and actually TRY it. Dinner is served in about 10 minutes and I have no doubt they will be terrific. I do have 4 left over tortillas which I may freeze for a few days just as an experiment. I'll post how they turn out! Again, thanks for a terrific recipe! Oh, this is genius! No more rolling a million tiny corn tortillas that may or may not stay together to make enchiladas.
