Flour Tortillas

Tonight I'm making my second attempt at flour tortillas. The first, tried several years ago, weren't worth the work involved, but I'm *trying* to make more ingredients myself if at all possible, so, tonight, I'm on the dough.

I'm using the recipe and method that FoodWishes plugged from Blanca Dîez.

VERY easy and super yummy. I think I'll cut back a little bit on the shortening, though, they seemed a smidge on the greasy side, but not much. Wonderful tortillas!

No Knead Garlic Cheese Flatbread

I love to bake and when I saw this recipe on the King Arthur flour site, I had to try it. We love focaccia bread, and this seemed like a really similar kinda thing.

I'd had high hopes and as I sit here typing this, I wonder if the problem was with my technique. Maybe I didn't mix it well enough, or something, but it was not the moist, aromatic, flavor explosion I was hoping for, it was dry and just, well, bland. AND it totally stuck in the pan. Bad. It rose well, smelled awesome, but was a taste let-down.

I might try it again - it certainly was easy enough - just plan on kneading it.
