Been making flour tortillas with the press. Fresh tortillas are amazing. Mine came with a bunch of wax papers to put between the press, but I discovered they did more harm then good. After several attempts I settled on a yeast based flour tortilla recipe which I spice up with mild chili powder. Press to shape and then roll it out to size. 60 second later in a piping hot pan and you have a tortilla. Those wax papers come in handy to separate them in the freezer.

My press came pre seasoned, but I think it can do with a few more layers. What are your tips for making tortillas?

    I am! Want to get crazy flavorful? Grind your own flour or masa. I bought a cheapy grinder and holy shit: I was so blown away by the flavor improvement that I sent it back and got a good one. Now I’m milling everything.

    A big bonus is whole grains tend to last way longer than flours, so I just mill whatever I need and the wheat berries, buckwheat groats, oat groats, glutinous rice, etc will just chill in my cupboard for months without spoiling.

    Plus my grinder makes nut butter too. I made fresh hazelnut butter last night. It was so good I cried a little.
