Wraps

homemade are the best

2 cups of All Purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
a pinch of baking powder
about 1 Cup of warm water

Mix everything and knead using your fingertips tio a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into small balls medium size balls for medium to large ones.
Dust with flour and allow to rest for about 5 minutes
Preheat a heavy bottom pan on med heat
Using a rolling pin roll the ball dough out on a floured surface making sure it is not sticking at all. keep it as round as possible
Put the dough disk in the preheated pam and leave it for about 7 seconds or till small bubbles start to form
Flip it using a spatula
Brush with melted butter and flip again let cook for about 4 seconds and it should be cooked all the way through and has a lovely carmel color spots
Dont over cook it as it might get hard and break later.
Cool completely and store in a zip lock bag either in the fridge or the freezer.

If I do have to freeze them, I like to store mine with some baking paper between them or they tend to stick together a bit,
I've also done some with crushed garlic and chopped fresh herbs thrown in for fun.

Thankyou bev00. I hadn't thought of making my own.

Can anybody please give me some tips on folding wraps or suggest a brand of wrap that doesn't crack or break when folding. Filled wraps from cafes always seem to stay soft but when I do them at home they break whether I use them cold or warm them.

Jarrah wraps are excellent. I've never had one crack or split. We fold up the bottom first, then one side then the other. It shows you how on the packet.

warm them slightly

Yes. I agree Whitehead. 10 seconds in a microwave or short time in the oven and they'll fold or roll easily while still warm.

Same. I use Old El Paso wholegrain Tortillas and warm them in the microwave 6 of them for 20seconds. Never had any problems with splitting.

They are really easy to make jwjmummy, much nicer and never crack or break apart.

I find Homebrand the best too and make sure they're well sealed for next time

I use jabal brand if I'm buying. Thick and chewy Lebanese bread style.

http://www.farrahwraps.co.nz/ these are fantastic, the green spinich ones are tasty to, they never tear are easy to wrap and look good.
I always fold the bottom up, than start rolling tightly pushing filling into roll with a knife as I roll. Always make sure you have some mayo or a damp ingredient near the end of wrap to help it stick.
I consider myself a bit of a Wizz at making wraps :)

Oh, and I only seem to be ale to buy them at Countdown

Homebrand here too. With any brand wrap, just remember to warm them slightly then they won't crack.

I use Homebrand too, a pack of 15 does us a few meals so I freeze some until next time in bags I save from previous lots then just microwave them after thawing.

I was making my own but with HB so affordable it just wasn't worth the time and I can have tea on the table so much earlier after work.

Thanks everyone, your suggestions are much appreciated.
