These plain wraps are so yummy! They’ve been approved by everyone that’s tasted them and were pretty easy to make too. You may like to make 2 lots (doubling may be too hard for your machine) and freeze them once cooked.
Spinach Variation: Add 60g baby spinach with the flour in step 1.
Sundried Tomato Variation: Add 10 preservative-free sundried tomatoes with the flour in step 1.
TIP: As soon as your wrap is cooked, keep them under a tea-towel or put them in the decor container and put the lid on. You want them to sweat a little as it will keep them fresh. If you don’t make them sweat they will go hard. We like to freeze these in a flat container. The Decor Pastry container is brilliant.

Ingredients
- 400 g plain flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tbsp. butter or coconut oil
- 1/2 c boiling hot water
Instructions
Thermal Cooking Method
- Add flour, baking powder, salt, and butter (or oil) into the mixing jug. Mix for 10 seconds/speed 7.
- Turn the blades down to speed 2. While the blades are going on speed 2, add boiling water through the hole of the lid slowly. Stop immediately once the dough has come together to form a ball. Be careful not to add too much water, but if you do, just add more flour.
- Once your dough becomes a ball knead it for 4 minutes.
- Tip out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a log shape. Cut into 16 pieces. Put each piece back into the bowl and cover with a tea towel.
- Preheat a dry frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Roll 1 piece of dough, thinly, into a wrap shape (it won't be perfectly round so don't worry about that). Place into a dry hot pan and fry until it's puffed and golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side. This will only take 1-2 minutes each side. If you are quick enough, roll the next wrap while the previous one is cooking.
- Once cooked, place the wrap on a plate, under a clean tea towel, or in a container and repeat until all the wraps are cooked.
- Eat straight away or freeze in an airtight container.
Traditional Cooking Method
- In a food processor, add flour, baking powder, salt and butter (or oil) and mix on a medium speed for approx. 30 seconds.
- While the blades are going on low speed, slowly add boiling water. Stop immediately once the dough has come together to form a ball. Be careful not to add too much water, but if you do, just add more flour.
- Tip the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 5 minutes.
- Roll dough into a log shape. Cut into 16 pieces. Put each piece back into the bowl and cover with a tea towel.
- Preheat a dry frying pan over medium-high heat.

These are easiest warps to make and have many different ways to use them, from chicken wraps to pizza bases or for dips.
Thank you for leaving a reply. We find making a big batch helps and then freeze them. Jo x
The best wraps ever so easy and basic ingredients everyone can make them..
They are so good I use them for my wraps and taco’s now..
Amazing! So easy and the kids love love love them! I don’t even get to finish cooking them before they are lining up waiting for them ?
I have been making these wraps for years, best receipe around, easy, fast and super tasty.
Well done ladies, keep up the great work
Such an easy wrap to make. They’re great for soft tacos, nice and pliable. Thank you!
These are the best wraps I’ve ever made. The dough is so soft and easy to work with. They’re absolutely delicious too!
These wraps are amazing. I used to use another recipe but i will use this recipe from now on. My 5 year old couldn’t get over how good they were and had three for dinner (filled with chicken and lettuce). Thankyou.
My wraps didnt puff up! Still nice and soft but any suggestions on how to get them to puff???
Hmmm, I am not really sure. Sometimes if they are ‘overworked’ before cooking they won’t puff. Also make sure the pan is hot, but not too hot that they will burn. Only leave them 1-2 mins per side. At least they were still yummy :) Tracey
Ok thanks maybe Ill try kneading them manually next time and not in the thermomix! Appreciate the reply.
Have you made these with gf flour Jo?
I have tried but they weren’t great. They became very brittle. Jo
I don’t have a thermomix, is there a traditional method recipe?? TIA
If you have a mix master with a dough hook you could do something similar. Otherwise, you would have to knead them by hand.
Great recipe. The kids loved these! I don’t own a thermomix so had to tweak the recipe a little. Easy enough. Rub the butter into the flour, add boiling water as above and mix with a wooden spoon until it forms a dough and then knead the dough by hand. Follow the rest of the instructions above after that.
Has anyone tried this recipe with rice flour? Thank you
I have never tried this, but I am not sure it would not work, although it would be worth giving it a try.
First time making our own wraps and the family loved them (no left overs – woohoo) Thanks for the great recipe x
Can you please advise on the shelf life of these wraps if you leave them at room temp or if you refrigerate them please? What would be a good storage option for these other than the large plastic zip-lock storage bags to keep the air out? thank you
We store ours in the freezer in a large square container that normally stores pastry. They won’t last long if left on the bench, probably 48 hrs at the most, you’ll get a few extra days in the fridge. But the freezer is best if you want a long shelf life
Wow! My first time making wraps at home! I wanted to make my own because I hated the plastic bag wastage from buying a bag every week. I also enjoy cooking fresh food where I can. This recipe was so simple and didn’t take long as all to make. I just rolled each one while one was cooking in the pan! I substituted 1/3rd of the flour for rye flour just for some varied nutrition and they tasted great and looked just like the ones you buy! This will be my new go to now! Thanks so much ladies
Hi Jo, just made these but the dough crumbled. It did come together eventually. I found the wraps shrunk on the fry pan and are quite hard. They wouldnt wrap up without breaking/cracking. Did I over process the dough or is it because it used white spelt flour?
Hi Kiera,
It would be because of using Spelt flour. Spelt flour does not contain enough wheat and gluten to bind the mix together. You really do need to use a flour that is wheat-based.
Warm regards,
Shane
Hello. I am just wondering if anyone can offer any tips. I have made these a few times now and each time they are never soft. I might get one soft one in a whole batch. They are brittle and snap. Any tips? I followed the recipie exactly. My thought is maybe I roll them too thin?
Hi Elizabeth,
Can I suggest not cooking them as long but, only just so they start to bubble. Also, you do want them thin but, not paper thin.
Shane
Would love to know if anyone has a gluten free alternative that’s was a success? My son is on a strict no gluten, egg, soy and dairy diet and I’m new to all this?? Help!
We have a gluten-free wrap recipe in our program gluten-free made easy.
Wow wow wow!!! These are delicious!!!!! My whole family ate these and raved about them! Thank you for yet again another amazing recipe!
We’re so glad you love it :)
Hello!
I would love to make these and freeze them.
Do you cook them and then let them sweat and then freeze them? Or do I do it in a different order? Thank you
Yes – let them sweat under the tea towel whilst you are cooking them all. Then when done, let them cool down and pop in the freezer. We like to roll them up and then pop them in an airtight container like that.
Not sure where I went wrong but I had to add way more hot water than the recipe said and my dough felt tough. Didn’t seem to have enough to cut into 16 pieces. When cooking they seemed quite hard but are softening with the “sweating process”.
Having them tonight with big mac tacos. Hope they pass the taste test 😅
I have had the same issue with my first batch and I’m not sure where I have gone wrong. Also, mine are tiny!! Are they meant to be quite small?
Thank you!
