Hi Dalia, thank you for sharing your recipes and your project , it sounds really exciting!
Regarding your question, the reason your wraps break or don’t roll well after baking is usually due to a lack of elasticity or the dough losing moisture during baking.Here are some suggestions that might help, adapted to your recipes:
1. Wrap with all-purpose flour and corn flour:
▪️Hydration: The amount of water (280 ml for 550 g of flour) might be a bit low. Try increasing it gradually to 320–340 ml, until the dough feels softer and more pliable.
▪️Resting the dough: After kneading, let the dough rest covered for at least 30 minutes. This helps the gluten relax, making the dough easier to stretch and handle.
▪️Thickness and baking: If the wraps are too thin or baked for too long, they can dry out and crack. Try rolling them a bit thicker (2–3 mm), and cover them with a damp cloth after baking to help retain moisture.2. Vegan and gluten-free wrap (chickpea flour):
Chickpea flour doesn’t contain gluten, so it naturally lacks elasticity. Here are some tips:
▪️Add a natural binder: Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed or chia seed with 2–3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 10 minutes until it forms a gel, and then add it to the dough. This helps with cohesion and flexibility.
▪️Add elastic starch: A few tablespoons (2–3) of tapioca starch or cornstarch can make the wrap more elastic and easier to roll without cracking.
▪️Cooking method: Instead of baking, try cooking the wraps on a non-stick pan. This helps preserve moisture, making them softer and more flexible.You’re really close just a few small tweaks and the texture will match the great flavor you already have. I hope these suggestions help, and I’d be happy to support you further as you develop your recipes.
Wishing you great success with your new snack!.
