Hey, have you ever wondered how those ancient grain breads, like the flatbreads of the Near East, evolved into the quick‑cooking tortillas we use today? The techniques are fascinating and surprisingly simple—just a few twists of history that still influence our kitchens. Let's dig into the little-known tricks that made them popular in their time.
Totally! Imagine those early flatbreads being cooked on hot stones, and then someone decided, “Hey, let’s flip the idea—make it thicker, keep it flexible, toss it in a pan, and voilà a tortilla!” The trick was always the heat: a hot surface, quick cooking, no yeast needed. That kept the dough simple and portable, perfect for travelers and warriors. Modern tortillas keep that spirit—quick, minimal ingredients, super versatile. Next time you flip one, think of that ancient, heat‑powered revolution!
