HANDMADE TORTILLA MAKING
HANDMADE TORTILLA MAKING
IngredientS FOR 4 PEOPLE
• 2 cups of nixtamalized dough
METHOD
• Water (if necessary)
• Salt to taste (optional)
1. Prepare the dough: Place the nixtamalized dough in a large bowl. If the dough is too dry, add a bit of water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is soft and manageable. If desired, add salt to taste and mix well.
2. Form the dough balls: Divide the dough into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball. Form smooth and even balls.
3. Prepare the press: Place a piece of plastic or wax paper in the manual tortilla press. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the press.
4. Press the tortilla: Place a dough ball in the center of the press, cover with another piece of plastic or wax paper, and press firmly to achieve a thin and even tortilla.
5. Cook the tortilla: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the tortilla on the griddle. Cook for about 30-45 seconds, or until the edges start to peel up and the bottom is lightly golden.
6. Flip the tortilla: Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30-45 seconds. Flip once more and cook for an additional 15-30 seconds to ensure it is fully cooked.
7. Keep the tortillas warm: Remove the tortilla from the griddle and place it in a container covered with a clean cloth to keep them warm and soft. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
