Wow, you have it down to a science! I just bought a CucinaPro Electric Tortilla Maker - 10", (waiting for it to get here) I use ancient grains like einkorn or kamut and Non Gmo Hard Red spring wheat berries that I mill myself for breads and will probably use it for tortillas b/c of digestion issues. I like your tortilla dough, it's soft and stretchy like I saw on Bread Beckers website. Thanks for the informational video, It's very useful for those of us who are new to this kind of cooking.

[@patriciawolanski3458]

Very helpful. I bought one and haven’t had a chance to use it until now. I greatly appreciate your tips.

[@FarzanehElaheh]

Excellent demo and instructions. Thanks so much for showing how it’s done! From the manual, “Preheat. 3. Preheat the appliance with the Top Cooking plate in the up position so that the appliance is open.” (page 4)

[@JackPaynesFoodPains]

Cool I looked for that but couldn't find it. Great eye..

[@angelitasandoval8616]

Thank you for showing everyone because I got frustrated with this machine and had to finish cooking the tortillas on a stove top.

[@JackPaynesFoodPains]

Yeah I know I was getting ready to give up whem then dough kept sliding out. But I said nope this thing isn't going to get the best of me. 😳 Thanks for the comment and the sub..

[@mateowey]

Tank you for the weight and size reference that really help me make consistent tortillas. My dozen came out like storebought tortillas

[@JackPaynesFoodPains]

Glad to help..

[@consaboramiel]

If you don't want your tortilla to go to the front, just add a little bit of flour to both sides of the dough and problem solved! thank you for this video! it helped me a lot to make the best tortillas!

[@JackPaynesFoodPains]

Your welcome and thanks for the input.

You're welcome. Got another video coming up with my 1st try of corn tortillas. It didn't go well.😀😀

[@dorothyradford228]

I did read in the manual to preheat the appliance with the top cooking plate in the up or open position. Usually about 6-8 minutes and the appliance is ready for use. Thank you for the pointers on preventing the dough from sliding off. Tried it earlier for the first time and had that issue. Look forward to trying your method.

I can make homemade tortillas, but I wanted something easier.. mine kept flying out just like you showed 😒. I was about to throw it out the window 🤣😂. Thanks for the tips!! Lol 👏🏼

[@nancyvega4582]

Thanks for this video; how do you make/prepare the dough? do you have a tutorial video?

[@JackPaynesFoodPains]

I dont have a tortilla dough video. There is plenty videos on the web. Just remember after kneading your dough to let rest before rolling into balls.

Wich recipe you recommend for use in this machine? Obrigado/Gracias

[@motorg756]

Thank you for showing it, like it. I have exactly similar machine, but even after pressing 2-3 times, the dough does not make bigger circle. It turns out slightly thicker, not thin and puffy. I am using all purpose flour. Is there any trick that I am missing?

[@JackPaynesFoodPains]

How much does your dough balls weigh? Also after kneading-mixing your dough let it sit under a moist towel for a half-hour to an hour before making the dough balls. Hope this helps.

[@motorg756]

@@JackPaynesFoodPains Finally I discovered some tricks. I made smaller circles from the dough balls using the machine, before warming it up. When the machine gets warm, pressing them again gives bigger circles and also makes puffy breads. Thanks again for sharing the video!

[@kathyhorne556]

Excellent! Thanks for sharing!!! Edit: Do you have a recipe (or video) for the tortilla dough?

[@JackPaynesFoodPains]

Tortilla dough is one of the simplest doughs to make. Just AP flour salt fat and water. Sometimes I Will add stuff like powdered garlic. There are plenty if recipes out there. So I wont go into that right now. But the 1 thing I will say is this. And it is very important, after the dough is mixed cover the dough with a damp towel for at least a 1/2 hour. This will allow the dough to hydrate and also become more plyable. And your tortillias wil be less tough.

[@kathyhorne556]

@@JackPaynesFoodPains Wow, thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly, and I appreciate your detailed response! I also appreciate your detailed video. Earlier this year, I bought the 10” tortilla maker, and it kept spitting out the dough, so I then bought the 12” (which I haven’t used yet; crazy, I know. 🤪) thinking it would be better. I look forward to following your suggestions! I’ll get back to you after I give it another try... Thanks again. 😃

Can you make corn tortillas with This machine?

[@marhuib]

Hi! No, you can't.

[@muerdecabras]

Yes, you can. Actually, the manual has a recipe for maiz tortillas

[@eandtforever1]

i could only find the 8inch one so a lot smaller. i never can get them to puff up

[@JackPaynesFoodPains]

It shouldn't matter what size you have gotten. The technique should be the same.

[@consaboramiel]

the size doesn't matter for the dough to puff, you have to press and form the circle with the dough just seconds...press and open up, press and open up until is as big and round as you want...then you have to leave it alone with the machine open for seconds almost to make bubbles, move it a couple of times and then you turn it to the other side and it should puff...if you let it cook too much it loses the water inside the dough and it won't puff. Also the dough has to be humid, if it's too dry it won't puff either...keep trying and you will be able to make it you'll see...hope this helps...

[@moretimeneeded56]

I just looked at Amazon U.K. They have a Brentwood 8 inch press for £120 ($160). That is a lot of money for what it does even though it does it well.

[@JackPaynesFoodPains]

Damn I paid 55 dollars US. For 160 I would set my house on fire and cook them on th roof 1st. Thats nuts..

[@moretimeneeded56]

Not every Tortilla press on Amazon U.K. is that expensive, only Brentwood. There are Geepas and Netta which are about $60 but only 8 inch and 900W.

[@JackPaynesFoodPains]

@@moretimeneeded56 8 inch might be big enough but If you are going to make burritos with them they will be small. As for the wattage. I haven't found the need yet to turn the heat on all the way up so it might be fine.
