WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR TORTILLIAS

Whole Wheat Flour Tortillias

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 T olive oil
1/2 cup warm tap water

Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add olive oil and stir until well combined. Put in warm tap water 1 T at a time until dough can be gathered into a ball. Add more water if needed 1 T at a time. Knead on floured surface 15-20 times. Let dough rest for 15 minutes. Divide dough into 10-12 equal portions and shape into balls. On floured surface roll out ball from center into a circle. Cook on ungreased skillet over medium-high heat on each side about 30 seconds or until puffy. You can cook them longer until they are crisp like a big chip. Wrap them in a towel to stay warm.

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Coffee Cake - No Added Refined Sugar

I didn't add the sugar glaze at the end.
Adapted from Cooks.com

CAKE
2 1/2 c. flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 pkg. yeast
1 1/2 c. milk (1 cup coconut and 1/2 cup heavy cream)
1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. honey

TOPPING:
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1/4 c. whole wheat flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 c. honey


Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, whole wheat flour, salt and yeast. Heat milk, butter and 1/3 cup honey to 120-130 degrees. Add liquids and egg to flour mixture. Blend until moist. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Stir in 1 cup flour. Spread evenly in 9 x 13 inch pan.

Combine topping ingredients, spoon over dough and swirl lightly. (Mine was very dough like and there was no swirling happening) Batter will be sticky. Let rise 1 hour. Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Glaze: Mix 1 cup powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons milk. Pour over warm cake. (I omitted)

I think next time, I'll actually roll the dough like a jelly roll to
distribute the goodies through-out the bread.
