By making them at home, you can control the quality of ingredients and adjust them to your dietary needs. This recipe is designed for home cooks looking to elevate their everyday meals with something wholesome and homemade. The use of whole wheat flour not only incorporates more fibre into your diet but also adds a delightful nutty flavour that pairs well with various fillings.

Instructions

Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.

Pro tip: Ensure even distribution of salt for consistent flavour.

Add wet ingredients

Slowly add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until a rough dough forms.

Pro tip: Add water gradually to avoid a sticky dough.

Knead the dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Pro tip: Use the heel of your hand to knead effectively.

Rest the dough

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Pro tip: This allows gluten to relax, making rolling easier.

Divide and shape

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.

Pro tip: Keep unused dough covered to prevent drying out.

Roll out wraps

On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle about 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter.

Pro tip: Roll from the centre outwards for even thickness.

Cook the wraps

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each wrap for about 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.

Pro tip: Look for small bubbles to know when to flip.

Cool and store

Transfer cooked wraps to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them soft. Store in an airtight container.

Pro tip: Cool completely before sealing to prevent condensation.
