Wow, Thank you so much! 🥰 Still have much to learn from all my viewers 😊

I’ve watched so many abuelas make tortillas on KZread trying to figure this stuff out and none of them ever explained the moisture level or the pan issues. Thank you!

"Step Juan" jajaja Great instructions! Thank you, gracias, tizameh, niawen

Really nice video, seriously. I like that you went through all the details, humidity, water content, how to check for adequate hydration in the finished dough, AND covering it to keep it from drying out. Learned a lot, I actually just weigh everything now so I don't have to constantly do the guess work every time I make the dough, but this was a perfect way to get to that desired point. Keep up the great videos my friend. Wishing you huge success.

Thank you so much for your kind and appreciative comment 😍 I'm thrilled to hear that you found the video informative and helpful. I hope one day I can transition to weighing ingredients like yourself, as it can really streamline the whole cooking experience. Your support and well wishes mean a lot to me, and I'll definitely keep striving to create more great videos 😊

Mind sharing which brand masa harina and water/weight ratio you use?

@@lucverb4068Not sure if you meant me or NAEYCooking, but I use MASECA brand:(175 g) MASECA (15 g) corn starch (2 g) salt (242) warm water I'm in NYC, so we don't have too high of a humidity, if you're in a more humid place, you'll need a few grams less water.

Not only was this highly informative, but the little editing touches were top tier and entertaining. 10/10 video 👍

@@angelika77st Really great actually! I got more puffy tortillas than ever when I used these tips (mostly I needed more water and was pressing them too thin.) I used the Masienda blue masa harina and had to use more than a cup of water per cup of harina, but I used the test method to see if they were hydrated enough, and that worked great to dictate amounts.

Best tortilla tutorial I've seen, and hilarious editing, subscribed! 😅😅, thanks!

You are the first one to explain why the tortillas puff up. I have seen many videos, but no one ever explained it. Thank you very much. I loved your video... It was pretty entertaining too.

Ive watched a lot of video's on how to cook tortillas. Yours was far the best, especially how to check if it's hydrated enough or not. Unfortunately my first attempt was the last one. I'll try again!❤

I can see that my dough has been too dry to puff. I live in a dry climate. I have a very nice gas range and use a large, well seasoned cast iron skillet. I will keep trying. Thank you for the detailed video explaining why we haven’t been puffing. ❤️

Thank you for these tips and showing the different types of heat sources. This was so helpful!!❤

Best tortilla video! I’ve seen several and no one mentions to add more water if cracks are present. Thank you!

Thanks for such an informative video. I will pay more attention to the moisture level when I cook my next batch of tortillas. This was super helpful.

Love the comedy!! 😂 I'm subscribed!

Now I understand! We can never get it to really puff even if all the pressing. But you explained it so well. We will watch out for the cracked edges and add more water

This helped me more than a dozen other videos. Your remind me of Alton Brown ❤

THANK YOU! I am a 60 year old white woman getting ready to make tortillas for the first time. I am sick of the breaking and cracking of store bought tortillas. I have been devouring KZread videos, but this one has been the most helpful. I have to DIY a press for now, but I will be jumping in to the process in 2 days. Wish me luck!

Thanks for showing us how to make them! The memes are hilarious 🤣

❤❤❤ Exactly what I needed! Thank you!

I wondered why mine tended to crack at the edges. Such a simple fix if only I knew. THanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Thank you so much. Super informative!❤

great tips! working w dough has such a steep learning curve if we're total noobies... it took me decades to figure out flour doughs...and corn was just as hard even though there are even fewer ingredients. can't wait to put your tips to work.

Loved this! ❤

Thanks for making this video. I've been making them regularly for years and now I can finally get them to puff every time.

Fantastic explanation and demonstration.

Entertaining and informative!!! Subscribed.

this is the best explanation i've seen! especially on the climate differences. I live in high desert and following the recipes they always end up dry and i add way more water. For cooking surface i have a cast iron round griddle which is perfectly flat and perferct for tortillas. Thanks for this video!

I didn't know about pressing the areas that aren't puffing. Thank you.

The puff is so glorious!!! 🥰🥰🥰 It never fails to make me smile!!! ☺️😁😁😁😁😁

It is indeed very very satisfying watching the tortillas in this video puff up. Good video. Thanks for the explanation.

Thank you for the great instructions. ❤ Do you sell the implement you squished between pieces of plastic?

This is an excellent video, 99/100. One thing i would like to add, if i may, is that whenever you lay down your tortillas onto your cooking surface, make sure to lay it away from you at a slow / gentle pace. If you do this too fast, or if you just plop it down onto the hot surface, there will be bubbles on your tortilla before it even begins to cook and will 100% ruin it.

Excellent video, I feel confidence to try making tortillas again. Thank you!!

Bro! This is THE video! ❤️

Like you, I've been trying to nail these things (after watching a zillion vids on YT) and never get consistent results. I'm gonna give it another go using your tips and I will report back! 🤞🏽 Crap. 3 hours later, didn't puff. I'm going to go with more water and ditch Bob's Red Mill Masa for the Maseca and see where that gets me. Good tips though.

Thank you so much for your comment, and I'm so sorry to hear that they didn't puff! It always bummed me out when that happened 😟 But DON'T GIVE UP! Try a different Masa, it really can make a huge difference. For example, I began practicing with the brand Pan and they always puffed, regardless of the heat source, but Maseca has always been very picky with what I use to cook them with. I hope that you'll get a consistent puff with a new masa brand! Let me know if you're still struggling. I've learned a lot of new great tips just from the comments in this video 😊

@marzsit9833

@@fartmachine5000 i've found that with bob's red mill you have to use more water, which makes the dough rather delicate and more difficult to peel off the plastic but the tortillas turn out great.

Inspiring me to get back in there and try again..... thank you

Interesting use of the towel. I've been using my fingers instead. Thank you for the tips. Definitely feel like making some now to try them, I'm so bad at it 😢

Thanks so much!! Really enjoyed your video!!

I love this video! I'd like to add my own tips. Almost ALL my tortillas puff! Yay, me! I do make my masa using maseca on the moist side. I use a double griddle on my stove at med high which is 7 on my gas stove. Make sure you let it heat up at least 10 minutes. 1st flip as soon as you see steam whisps coming from your tortilla. Flip leave for 30-45 seconds, flip y Viola! Puff! I also make only a few dough balls at a time and keep the dough covered w plastic wrap to ensure moisture retention. Enjoy!

Best tortilla video I've seen yet

Cast Iron all the way 😃

I use grams for both the masa harina and the water. I normally need 50%+ more water than masa harina by weight which works out to be about 75% hydration using your volume method. For example if I wanted two bigger tortillas I'd use 40g masa harina and 60g water. If ever I need more water it's by just a teaspoon (5g). Works perfect every time. My cooking tool is a cast iron skillet! I'm restoring a cast iron griddle and will be using that next. I have to be very careful with my stove, though. That thing is either just not very hot and too darn hot. Thanks for the video.
