Fantastic demo; can’t thank you enough sharing. I’ve tried mine once, and wasn’t happy. Thought I was going to have to use all purpose flour to be successful, you’ve given me HOPE. Thanks!
You can do it! Once you get the hang of it it’s SO easy.
This was great. I'm new to milling wheat and have struggled with making tortillas in the past. I'm looking forward to trying again based on your advice in the video.
You can do it! I used to struggle as well but was determined to find a way since I didn’t want to feed my family store bought tortillas.
Thank you SO MUCH
My pleasure!
Great teaching video!
Thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for making this video! I am going to attempt this today. I’m wondering if mine have been exploding because of too high heat!! Looks like your press is on medium heat.
Thanks again!!!!
That’s very possible! I always start with medium heat. And haven’t gotten close to turning it all the way up.
I'm going to get this tortilla maker.
Wish me luck.
You got this!
Note to self: 50 g dough is approximately equal to 1.75 ounces.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on a non-electric, cast iron tortilla press. thanks :)
I have a cast iron press. I’m not a fan because the tortillas lose shape when transferring to the pan. It requires parchment paper and is just not as user friendly in my opinion. With the electric press it par-cooks the tortilla making it easy to handle and can even freeze the flattened dough very easily. They cook from frozen beautifully.
Thank you, very informative. Do you know what causes the squeal/ I found that fascinating that it does that.
In my mind, it’s the tortilla screaming for help 😂. But in reality it probably has something to do with steam releasing from the tortilla.
@@Lovelybellbakes 😱🤣
Now I want to make them because the squeal sounds like those yellow rubber chickens 😂🤣
@@livingwithwolves5055 🤣
It was very helpful. Where can I get the equipment you use?
I did not know that there were electric tortilla presses. Would you recommend them over the cast iron ones?
How are your tortillas able to cook within that short period?
Thank you
The tortillas cook quickly when the heat is high enough. When they take longer to cook they dry out and get crispy. I highly recommend an electric press over a cast iron. The electric press makes the tortillas easy to handle because it partially cooks them. So they don’t shrink down or lose shape when transferred to the pan.
@@Lovelybellbakes Thank you for getting back to me :)
Excellent point about tortillas drying when cooking them for too long. I think it would be my mistake as I would worry that they are not cooked and give them a little more time to cook LOL For some reason I have this fear of eating some raw flour but I do not think that you would suffer if you ingest raw flour by accident, would you?
So based on your comment the electric press does not cook it all the way through? You still need to finish it in a pan?
@@Alien2799 you would be fine if you ate it and it wasn’t fully cooked but it’s unlikely for that to happen since they cook so quickly. I uploaded a 3rd tortilla video answering some frequently asked questions and doing a more in depth cooking demonstration. The electric press can cook the tortilla but I only use mine as a press.
@@Lovelybellbakes Thank you again.
I assume you meant this video czcams.com/video/bZf_lO75cek/video.html ?
It is interesting that you use the electric press just to press it and give it shape. Well, I will not be making that many tortillas. That being the case would cooking the tortillas all the way in the electric press give nice results? I guess I will not get the puffing.
Also I see a grain mill on your Amazon list. How do you like it? I guess it will not grind anything oily.
@@Alien2799 I love my grain mill I use it every single day. Sometimes 3 times a day. It’s a work horse. But yes, nothing oily. Also, you can still have puffy tortillas with the press. You’d cook them with the press open 👍🏿
Why dont you put it more in the middle
The instructions say to put it closer towards the back. For larger tortillas, put it in the middle.
