Tortilla press

Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 250g masa harina
• 330 ml hot water
• 1/2 a teaspoon table salt

Method

1. Mix the salt, masa harina and half of the water together to form a dough
2. Add more water as required - you are looking for a stiff, pliable dough
3. This can be done in a food processor or even better, use a breadmaker on dough setting. The Panasonic SD 253 and similar models have a 45 minute pizza dough setting that is perfect for tortilla dough.
4. Rest for at least 1 hour then shape into 10 equal sized balls.
5. Using a tortilla press or rolling pin, place a ball of dough between two non-stick sheets (Bake-O-Glide or similar) and press into shape
6. Heat a frying pan to a medium high temperature (but with no oil).
7. Cook each tortilla on one side for 15 seconds.
8. Turn and cook for 45 seconds.
9. Turn again and cook for a further 15 seconds.
10. They should have brown speckles.

Serving suggestion

Use as suggested in your recipe

Variations

Add 1-2 teaspoons chilli powder and/or 2-3 teaspoons garlic powder to the mixture.

Chef's note

If you don't have a tortilla press, use 2 chopping boards or just two sheets of wood as a substitute. Place ball of dough between two non-stick surfaces such as small squares of Bake-O-Glide and stand on them!
