Gluten-free, dairy-free tortilla step by step notes
When you first mix the flour with the boiling water, don’t worry too much about the lumps. They are totally normal and will disappear when you will knead the dough by hand.
You can change the amount of water and flour to make more or less servings, but remember that the water should be always a little more than the flour.
Dust well the surface and the rolling pin before rolling out the dough. Help yourself with a dough scraper. Otherwise, you can roll the tortilla our between two layers of parchment paper.
This tortilla is really elastic and perfect to wrap your burritos. I suggest to dry fry each tortilla one minute per side, then wrap your burritos and pan fry (dry pan) again for a few minutes.

Cut the preferred shape
Can I freeze these rice tortillas?
Absolutely, better to do it before cooking them! My advice is to roll them out, let them cool down and freeze them by placing a piece parchment paper between each one and the other. Then you can defrost and cook them in the pan as normal!

When making these do you have to keep the pan on the hob whilst stirring in the flour? As I added flour to boiling water off the heat and ended up with a sloppy wet mess. I tried adding more rice flour but it was still very sticky.
Yes it’s better to give the initial stir on the hob, then transfer to knead by hand. It’s ok if it’s sticky, that’s why it must be roll out between two parchment papers. You can refer to this video to see the process: https://www.instagram.com/p/CcOLbgxlq21/

Any ideas for a wrap.. Actually I want to use it as a thin crust pizza base. Vegan and free of nuts, rice, lentils
I would go with these wraps, they only include buckwheat flour : https://www.martainthejar.com/sides/2-ingredients-buckwheat-wraps/
