When you use the ziplock bag s do you put flour on the inside surface? Thank you for this wonderful sight and the fabulous tips. The world is a much nicer place with a network of friends...

You really went over the top with the incredible Green Bean Casserole we enjoyed at Thanksgiving, and now the tortillas (!) and an amazing Flatbread! Can't thank you enough! By the way, I tried and tried the tortilla rolling but really flipped with delight when I used the viewer's hint about rolling them out inside a plastic bag -- wow -- round, perfect, and much less flour needed. I couldn't believe that one would be so terrific.

Lay one piece of wax paper down. Sprinkle liberally with GF flour, covering the entire paper surface. Place the ball of dough in the center. Flatten dough ball slightly and sprinkle with flour. Cover with second piece of wax paper. Now follow same steps as above. Roll, turn paper/dough/paper "sandwich". Keep turning until desired size and thickness. Peel top lay of wax paper off dough slowly and carefully. Now sprinkle more flour on top of exposed round circle of dough. This will ensure no sticking. Place wax paper back on top and carefully flip over. Now the freshly floured side is on the underside. Slowly peel off the "now" top piece of wax paper. You should be able to pick up, or transfer, the rolled dough easily. Good luck! The best tip ever for rolling out any kind of dough is to use two pieces of wax paper. Lay one piece of wax paper down.

More like pita bread. I only just found this site, thank you Mary Frances. I didn't have the ingredients you listed but tried using chickpea flour and tapioca flour. They ended up very tender not at all easy to roll out so I just flattened them out. They were very tasty. I am looking forward to the original recipe. I would love to try baking them to make a chip.

It made the tortillas taste wonderful, and they didn't have that grainy texture they can get on the outside from the residual flour. Question: Have you tried cooking these, letting them cool, and then frying them? I'd like to make homemade tortilla chips, and that's how you make homemade plain corn tortillas, according the the masa bag directions.

I have helpful advise for rolling out dough and pie crusts - use a pastry cloth (mine is an antique soap sack that once belonged to my great Aunt Hazel - I've used it for over 30 yrs!). Just dust it with flour (much less than on a bare surface) and keep turning the dough as you have suggested above. It works especially well for pie crusts and pizza dough. Keep adding flour as needed. I'm noted for my pie crusts - this is the secret! Hope this proves helpful! Love your site, will pass it on to newly diagnosed pts with gluten allergies.

I've had so much trouble rolling out GF dough in the past! But on some web site, I forget where, it was suggested to cut open a large ziploc bag. I cut off the top (zip part) and open up the two sides so it is one long sheet. I put the dough on the sheet, fold the sheet over, and roll it out "inside" the bag. It rolls out nice and flat and I don't have any problems with it sticking to the bag. Hi!
