Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°F.

2. Pour the warm water in a large electric mixer bowl. Dissolve the sugar in the water, and then sprinkle yeast over the water's surface.

3. Allow the mixture to sit for 3 to 5 minutes, then stir to dissolve completely. Add the olive oil, Almond Whey Bake Mix #2, wheat gluten, wheat bran, flour, Splenda, sugar, skim milk powder, and salt. Using a dough hook attachment on an electric mixer, mix, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally, until the dough is moist and elastic. (If you don't have an electric mixer, you can do this by hand, with a wooden spoon.)

4. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough briefly, and then place it in a greased bowl. Cover loosely with foil and place it in the oven. Turn the oven off, and allow the dough to double in size (this will take about 1 hour).

5. When the dough has risen, remove, punch down, and break into 20 small balls. Cover the dough balls with a clean dishtowel to keep them from drying out. Roll each dough ball into a paper-thin circle on a lightly floured surface.

6. In a dry, nonstick skillet, cook each dough round briefly on both sides, until brown spots appear. Place your tortillas in a plastic bag to keep them supple, or refrigerate or freeze for longer storage.
