Finally a video where they show u exactly how and why !!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So kind of you to say! Thank you 🤩
Mine will never puff gringo tortillas for ever 😕
I’ve been trying to do this for years. 😢 this is a new hope for me!!😂🙏
This might be one of the best videos I have watched about making tortillas 🌮🌮🌮
Wow, Thank you so much! 🥰 Still have much to learn from all my viewers 😊
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 UA-cam 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!
I’ve watched so many abuelas make tortillas on UA-cam trying to figure this stuff out and none of them ever explained the moisture level or the pan issues. Thank you!
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.
"Step Juan" jajaja
Great instructions! Thank you, gracias, tizameh, niawen
Not only was this highly informative, but the little editing touches were top tier and entertaining. 10/10 video 👍
Thank you so much for your kind words 🤩 I'm so happy to hear that you found the video both informative and entertaining 🥰 I believe that learning should be enjoyable, and adding those little editing touches is my way of keeping things fun. Your comment is very encouraging, and it motivates me to continue creating cooking content. I appreciate your support! 😊
Best tortilla tutorial I've seen, and hilarious editing, subscribed! 😅😅, thanks!
Thank you! I’ve been making tortillas like the bad dry example at the end. Can’t wait to try again with your tips!
Thank you for your comment! Let me know how it went 🤩
How did it go for you??
@@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.
Finalmente!!! Una explicación racional de cómo 🤯 una tortilla se infla!!! 👍🏼
Mil gracias por su comentario! 😊
The puff is so glorious!!! 🥰🥰🥰
It never fails to make me smile!!! ☺️😁😁😁😁😁
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.
Love how you explain the your mistakes
The best explanation on making tortillas I’ve found. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment 😊
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!❤
LOOOORD I'm so glad I found your video! I have watched many videos and read many recipes and could never get it. I felt like hoooooow can I make a whole feast and not be able to figure out tortillas 😩
Best tortilla video! I’ve seen several and no one mentions to add more water if cracks are present. Thank you!
Entertaining and informative!!! Subscribed.
I'm in Europe and trying to make my own tortilla's. I tried the first time and they tasted good, but it was a struggle. Thanks to you I now what I did wrong and how to fiks it. So thank you very much! The problem: not moist enough! I never took the humidity of the air into account. It is very dry here.
And a tip from someone who knows the metric system. We dont use milliliters for flour/salt/suger, we use gram, kilo enz. Mililiter is for liquids like milk, water, and such.
Sorry for spelling mistakes, english is not my firts language.
I wondered why mine tended to crack at the edges. Such a simple fix if only I knew. THanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never get them to puff and never knew the right temperature. What a great trick!
Thank you! I hope the tricks work for you as they do for me. I have also been learning so much from just the comments in this video so I hope they help you become a pro too 🥳
I’m in the high desert of Texas and now I know why I’ve had problems! Ty ty ty ty ty ty ty. 🙌🏻
It is indeed very very satisfying watching the tortillas in this video puff up. Good video. Thanks for the explanation.
I appreciate the comedy insertions - just the right amount, the right length. Great job!
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. ❤️
This helped me more than a dozen other videos. Your remind me of Alton Brown ❤
❤❤❤ Exactly what I needed! Thank you!
This video taught me a lot, and I've been making these for quite a while. Thank you so much for explaining the water ratio!
Thank you for these tips and showing the different types of heat sources. This was so helpful!!❤
Thank you so much for your comment!
Thank you!!! Mine have always came out looking just like the cracked out one you demonstrated
I didn't know about pressing the areas that aren't puffing. Thank you.
Best how to make & cook Tortillas. Gracious
Wow! Thank you so much. Super informative!❤
Cool…Thank you!!! Tips and method…HOORAY!!!
Loved this! ❤
This is so helpful, thank you!
Great tips - thanks for the video! I followed your suggestions and made awesome tortillas.
Fun inserts are spot on!
Thanks so much!! Really enjoyed your video!!
Fantastic explanation and demonstration.
Super helpful, thanks!
Excellent video, I feel confidence to try making tortillas again. 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.
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
Thank you!!!! Best video I have found!!
I had no idea about the amount of water a tortilla needed. Ive been making dry ones for too long. Thank you :)
Happy to help! 🥰
Inspiring me to get back in there and try again..... thank you
Great video 👩🏽🌾
Appreciate your tips
I learned a lot while I was laughing. Great video! Thanks.
Very informative! Thanks for explaining the process.
Thank you for your comment 😊
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.
Love the comedy!! 😂 I'm subscribed!
Thank you. I learned a lot. It's helping me make tortillas at home better all the time.
You are so welcome! That's what I love about cooking, there's so much to learn and experiment with 😍 Thank you for your comment!
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.
Thank you thank you thank you I will try this. Again. Hopefully this time it will work❤
Fantastic content! Just discovered you and it's fascinating! Gracias
Thank you for showing the how but more importantly the why
Thank you❤ I just can't make them as my mama does and this is so helpful ❤
Gracias!
Best explanation video! Thank you! 👏
Just learning myself 😊 Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks for the detailed instructions.
Glad it was helpful! and I hope it brought a few smiles to your face 😊 Thanks for your comment ❤️
Thank you so much for this great Video!!!
Amazing! Thanks for the easy explanation! Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
This is the video I’ve been waiting for!
Did you get the PUFF?? 😃
Thank you!!!
Great info in a very entertaining format, good job! Thanks
Thank you for the encouragement! 😊
Thanks for making this video. I've been making them regularly for years and now I can finally get them to puff every time.
That's great to hear 😊 What do you use to cook them?
Thank you! We've struggled with this.
Yes we have, and I still do somedays 😅 hope these tips work for you! Thank you for your comment 😊
Wow gracias!!!! Me salian feas aun lejos de casa , gracia spor los consejos 🥹💖
this is the video i have been waiting for
Excellent explanation! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your comment 😊
Thank you brother for helping me improve my culinary skills
Awesome !!!
Thanks for showing us how to make them! The memes are hilarious 🤣
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!
Thank you Naey
Great video, awesome tips. I'll be making mine from own homegrown field corn that I process using pickling lime. They'll be cooked on a cast iron pan on our restored 1890's wood-burning range. Thanks!
Great video man! Mahalos
This is an amazing video!
What a video! Tysmfs!!
Thank you. This was a very good explanation.
Thank you for your encouraging comment 😊
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.
Definitely keep us updated! I've been trying to make Chinese Jian Dui for years and same with puffy corn tortillas. Yum!
Hope everything goes well.
bob's red mill is a little coarse but the organic version has a great flavor that makes up for it
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 😊
@@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.
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!
Good info
Best tutorial on making homemade corn tortillas…EVER!
I just discovered something I didn't know I needed! A tortilla press! Thanks 😀
Cast Iron all the way 😃
