Servings
4
  • ¼ cup hot water
  • 3 Tablesps butter, soft
  • 2 Tablesps cold water
  • 3 Tablesps olive oil
  • ½ cup masa harina (enriched corn flour)
  • ¼ cup vital wheat gluten flour
  • 1/3 cup soy protein powder
  • 3 Tablesps unprocessed wheat bran
  • ¼ cup whole almond meal
  • 1 Tablesp ground chili powder (or as desired)
  • 1 Teasp garlic powder
  • ½ Teasp cumin (optional)
  • cayenne pepper (dash or as desired)
  • salt to taste (a few shakes or as desired)
  • freshly ground black pepper (as desired)
  • 2 Tablesps soy protein powder (for rolling dough)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small or medium-size mixing bowl, mix the hot water with the butter, stir to dissolve. Add the cold water and olive oil.

  2. 2

    In another mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients except for the soy protein powder needed for rolling. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Add the dry mixture to the liquid mixture and stir with a fork until the liquid is absorbed. Use your hands to shape the dough into a smooth ball. Cover. Chill for about 1 hour or longer.

  4. 4

    When you are ready to proceed, preheat oven to 350ºF.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle a tiny bit of soy protein powder on a large cutting board.

  6. 6

    Pinch off a chunk of dough about the size of a large walnut. Roll it in the soy protein powder and flatter it lightly with your hand, shaping it into a rectangle. Roll the piece as thin as you can make it.

  7. 7

    Divide the dough into three or four equal pieces and stack them. Cut strips of about 1 inch by 1 ½ inches or make the chips any size you want them. They will shrink by about one-third when they bake.
