Man Cooking His Own Way | Never Buy Tortillas Again - Easiest, Best Homemade @IBuildItHome | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 47 seconds ago.
Yes, John has a cooking channel now! And I'm cooking my own way, which usually means making something to help do that. So there will be some time in the shop building some gadget, then using it to make something delicious to eat.
In this video I make a tortilla press and then use it to make the best tortillas you will ever have.
The press is simple, just two pieces of 3/4" plywood, but I jazzed it up my doing some "painting with plastic" 3D printing a southwestern scene that I designed in FreeCad. I also designed and 3D printed the continuous hinge for the press.
Tortilla dough recipe:
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon dry active yeast
- 1 cup flour, white or whole wheat
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- black pepper and spices to taste
Mix and let rise for 30-40 minutes than divide into 4 pieces for large tortillas, 6 for smaller ones. Flatten with press between two layers of plastic and freeze.
Heat pan to 400-425 degrees F and cook each tortilla for roughly 2 minutes per side. Store in a sealed container to keep them from drying out.
These tortillas are soft and chewy and once you start making them, you'll never go back to store-bought ones again. Using yeast adds flavour and the result is an airy bread-like texture that's far superior to anything else.
The recipe is also fat free - no oil is needed at all. In the second batch shown in the video I use oil on my hands to shape the balls as an option, rather than adding flour.
