No more flour-covered kitchen countertop or rolling pin needed.
What I love about this way of tortilla making is you only have to press down the press and you have a tortilla.
All your tortillas will have the same size and look very uniform.
To get this done there are some guidelines that you have to take into account.
Knead the dough – just like with a regular tortilla dough you need to knead the ingredients into a consistent and elastic dough
Rest – let the dough rest for 30 minutes. This activates the gluten and prevents the dough from losing its shape
Tortilla press – you need a good heavy tortilla press. Preferably a cast-iron tortilla press like this Uno Casa press. It is seasoned, easy to clean, and heavy
Parchment paper – use parchment paper when you press the tortillas. It is important that you rest your dough before you
Cook – all you need is a hot skillet, comal, or griddle to cook your flour tortillas
Why Make Flour Tortillas Using A Tortilla Press
Because it is a huge time saver compared to hand-rolling and you get uniform-shaped tortillas.
I always feel a little bit stressed when I have a tortilla in the pan and I need to roll the next tortilla.
Because I do not want to burn my tortillas in the pan and still have to get the next one ready to cook.
Another reason to use the press is no more odd-shaped tortillas. When I roll my tortillas by hand, I have a hard time getting beautiful round tortillas.
Well with the tortilla press you get a perfectly shaped tortilla that cooks evenly.
