Jamerill, once you’ve shape balls of dough to prep them for the tortilla press, let them rest for about 10 minutes they will work just fine, at least in my experience that’s been the case.
I'm up doing all the things tonight! I have 11 children to get ready for church tomorrow, food, clothes, and all the things. I get to watch your video while I prepare! God is good! Haha!
I have watched you for years as my comfort channel. I have no kids, but I find your big batch cooking videos so peaceful and soothing. It is so wonderful how you have transformed and grown in your content and I enjoy watching all your from scratch meals as I cook simple, natural foods myself. 💘
For even thin sliced bread: cut the entire loaf in half then place cut side against bread board and slice downward through crust to board. This gives you a way to hold the bread easily with one hand and make one swipe down with the electric knife to the cutting board. I do this and I get thin even half slices perfect for sandwiches and French toast.
You can definitely make flour tortillas in a tortilla press. I have a large tortilla press and a set of gallon ziplock bags slit on the sides that i use specifically for making fresh flour tortillas. The trick is to male sure ypu let your dough rest for at least 30 minutes before you press. I press and stack all of them before I cook them. Delicious. Sadly, I never have any left over. I reuse the bags. Note: I have had to press multiple dozen tortillas and I just remove and lay one between the bags or use parchment paper to keep them from sticking togetjer.
Jamerrill - Tortilla idea! Go to Homedepot buy a couple 1 to 1- 1/2” wooden dowels - have hubby cut them to rolling pin lengths to fit each child - sand them - mineral oil a bit - line kiddos up along table with balls of tortilla dough - maybe those plastic small Walmart cutting mats - Tada! Tortilla manufacturing😁
What a wealth of knowledge Jamerill has! She’s always on top of navigating successfulness at everything she does 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 The course will help so many! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🤍🤍🤍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
When you were talking about sourdough pancakes it brought back a wonderful memory. My dad was a showtime cook and he loved making sourdough pancakes with my mum on Sunday mornings. They were more crepes and were spread with frozen crushed strawberries that we had picked and preserved and whipped cream. It was lovely. 💕
What a fun experience to get an ostrich egg. I don’t remember how all the eggs we had growing up tasted, but I remember the goose eggs were gross. We had geese, ducks, guineas, and chickens. I’m sure we tried them all. Lol…I’m imagining how tiny the Guinea eggs probably were. Thanks for sharing with us! 😁
Jamerill, I just want to say I really admire you. Your willingness to learn and share what you learn is truly priceless. I love that you collaborate with other UA-cam folks, who I also happen to follow😊! Please keep take care of yourself to not burn out cause I know I'm among many who would greatly miss you.❤
As a long-time viewer of your channel (through different accounts), and as a wife of a Celiac husband, you are speaking the correct way to handle gluten in your household and to talk about what you are doing publicly. My hubs would love to eat regular sourdough products but that is not possible - we've tried the GF sourdough and it's not the same, but it makes him happy nonetheless because he loves the taste. One tip: the brand Schar makes excellent GF products and their sour dough pizza crusts and "baguettes" are truly great for convenience. The crusts are shelf-stable and the baguettes are frozen. All work great, if you need a quick option - the pizza crusts are fabulous in an air fryer (good for teenagers). 🙂 And come on Z-Line, make your product (that you advertise all over UA-cam) right. We need to see MEGA Momma baking. LOL
My goodness that egg! I love all the sourdough meals and snacks it's getting me geared up to start it🎉yay! Your doing so good with the sourdough I ordered me 2 of those wooden bowls too!

Definitely going to be looking forward to finding and trying your slow cooker bread recipe since i have no stove or oven in my current season of life however i do have a slow cooker. I cant wait!!! Thank you so much for being an amazing person....
My parents lived for a while in South Africa. Every Christmas, my mom would fix scrambled egg with an ostrich egg. As I recall, my dad cleaned a large drill bit, drilled a hole, and let the egg drain into a container overnight. It was delicious!
The secret for the flour tortillias is after you divide the dough into the amount of tortillias it's suppose to make, is to tuck each portion into a nice tight ball then to get a nice quick circle using your rolling pin press each tortilla then rotate the tortillia each time 1/4 turn.
If the press doesn't work for the tortillas what about a pasta sheeter/roller attachment for your Kitchen Aid or manual crank pasta sheeter. I know the sheeters are strong because it can be used to roll out polymer clay. Just a suggestion maybe this idea will spark some other ideas. Love, hugs and prayers from across the mountain in Hampshire County West Virginia
In upstate New York we are getting the smoke and torrential downpours. Every other day it’s raining. My garden is underwater most of the time. My tomatoes, which is a big part of my canning are not faring well. The ground has no time to dry before we get another torrential downpour. So if I had my druthers. I would prefer the smoke. At least my garden wouldn’t be drowning. Not going to be a good canning year. 8:22
I can definitely relate to be down to one bra. 😂 I remember hearing my mom tell her sister many uears ago that she was down to 1 1/2 bras. My aunt said, "How in the world do you have a half a bra?" We laughed so hard we never got the answer to that question. Aahh I miss that lady!
Wow all the recipes you are doing with sour dough is just brilliant 👏👏 The videos of your progress using sour dough is so informative and interesting and taking out the "" difficulty "" of of it 😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍
It’s just my husband, myself and my oldest brother but I make freezer meals. I, too, have my own business. I’m a personal shopper but cut my clients down to two and am 3/4 retired. I love freezer cooking! Just turned 60, had Bariatrics sleeve surgery and they have come in handy for my small household. Thank you for getting me interested into it!
Yes, you can make flour tortillas in a press! I do it all the time. All you have to do is press the dough between parchment paper. I even bought pre-cut 10" parchment for convenience sake.
I lived in New Mexico for 3 years while in High School and in Home Ec we learned how to make perfect round flower tortillas. I was taught by someone that has made millions of them. I think if you watched a few UA-cam videos on making them it would help you a bunch. There is an art to it but once you watch someone else that makes them "perfect" you will go "Oh, ok, I get it!"
Hi Jamerill, I’m from Singapore and we get haze occasionally from the forest fires in neighbouring countries. We are then encouraged to wear our masks again if we have to go out. When the air quality is very bad, schools are closed. Hang in there and here’s hoping the wind blows it away from you
Beautiful accomplishments, Jamerrill. I hope by now you are feeling better and that there will be relief from the smoke before long. In the past I have made gluten free sourdough bread products for my daughter with the instructions from the blog Vanilla and Bean, she made it so much easier although anything gluten free can definitely be a challenge. It is wonderful your family has taken to sourdough so well. My poor mom tried to get us onto it in the 70's and we kids rebelled...we hated it so much that she gave up and to this day I still only enjoy the occasional sourdough bread or English muffin, haha.
I do Lisa’s no knead artisan bread and one time the recipe does two loaves, but I make one big loaf and bake the same. Turns out perfect. Oh and I never worry about preheating for a full hour…works great. It is a confusing thing at first that timing and all the steps; but eventually, with practice we get the hang of it! :)
1:05:52 I have found that if you have issues with your dough shrinking back to the smaller size. You need to walk away from it and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Then when you come back to it. It tends not to fight you. The gluten has a relaxed in it. That would be for your tortillas that you’re rolling out. 1:10:39 imagine being the baby that has to come out of that eggshell. Wow they must be tired!
Look up yucca root for a gluten free alternative. You can buy the root at some special stores. They are a lot to peel and cut (you can get them peeled and cut up in the frozen section) This I found to make a very yummy pizza crust. I steam the cut up pieces and blend to turn into a batter with Italian seasonings, garlic powder, onion powder. It’s yummy! Yucca root is also known by several different names, cassava flour, tapioca starch is made from the starchy parts of yucca root. Also, soaking rice over night can also make a batter for gluten free ingredient options.
I have used a tortilla press on flour and corn tortillas and it works just fine. I just got a bigger one a few days ago and have not tried it yet. But I have been making my own sourdough tortillas and they are amazing so excited to try my new press. It’ll help big batch freezing all the tortillas that I make. God bless
I HAVE a cast iron tortilla press and use it on flour tortilla all the time. I got it because when researching, the weight of the press helps with the gluten in the dough. So go for it.
As a Canadian, yes we have renewed forest fires. I believe there are fires in California and Nevada and over on the American eastern seaboard. We are suffering too. When it gets really smoky, it cools the gardens. It is so hard.
Thank you so much for all the encouragement you give in your videos. My daughter, daughter-in-law and myself are going to get together and do a big batch cooking week end and then split them between the three families. This is going to be a great help to me since I am wheelchair bound and have a lot of difficulty cooking for myself. You are the one that gave us the inspiration to do this. Thank you and God bless.
Good morning I want to thank you for sharing your videos I've learned a lot from you I want to let you know I see your vision about the stores I know from time to time you going to drop in there and get something out of there but I do see your vision and I wish I could do it not have to go to the stores because it's uncomfortable going in there because all the things you see on the news today so enjoy have a blessed day
You're doing great Jamerill on your sourdough. I started sourdough in May, also following Lisa. I've tried her sandwich bread recipe which your family might like, it makes 2 loaves.
I really appreciate the info about the gluten intolerance and sour dough. It is really helpful … and you have done the experimenting for me!!!! Thank you again.
These fires in Canada are hurting people, here in Minnesota it is terrible! Went to Ladysmith in Wisconsin, no haze, and we came back to Minnesota and it was hazy again, this haze has been here for at least a month! It makes you feel sick, and I feel that this is being done on purpose. The haze has to be carrying more than just smoke ! I try to go into the garden early morning, and not being out in it for more than a couple of hours! Each morning, it looks like it is going to rain, gray and not your normal summer clarity. I wonder how many have noticed this?
A cast iron press works fine on flour tortillas..my daughter and grand daughter use one. I've made three to six dozen by rolling them out by hand using a roller my father-in-law made for me when I was first married...he used a broom handle from a industrial broom, cut about six to twelve inches long. He then sanded all the rough edges and it fit perfectly for my small hand.
You should try Farmhouse on the Boone's sourdough sandwich bread. It is easy and very tasty, great for a substitute for regular sandwich bread. No stretch and folds either.
I wish I could afford a freeze dryer...Im praying God will make a way for us to get one as I plan on getting a garden started as well. thank you for all the info about growing.
You could always roll out a mega big sheet of thin tortilla dough then use a bowl to cut out the rounded shape.either cereal bowls or Tupperware bowls until you find the right size that works for you
Jemerall i love watching you and also so inspiring and hope to one day get to grow,raise my own food please keep doing what you’re doing because I will be watching love you
I usually have my kids’ friends come over and we do a tortilla party a few times a year. We make tons of them and I send a bunch home with each kid, as well as putting a whole lot of them in our freezer. If I didn’t have the help I know for sure that I wouldn’t make them lol. It’s a ton of work!
Ok, now I hope tomorrow we don't see 2 ostriches in your backyard for eggs..lol. we went from small quail eggs to the big ostrich egg all in one video. Very informative. You made me laugh right when you seemed hesitant to take a bite. Thanks for sharing.
Ive been with you from the Start Jamerrill. There is one thing I have always wanted (and I believe you did dip your toes in) I would LOVE for you to read audio books. ❤️ Your voice is so soothing to me. And the more my eye sight fails, the more I rely on other senses. 😊
I love that idea! It would be like being a kid again! She definitely has the most soothing voice I can't imagine her yelling or screaming such a calm soul I just love her and all she does ❤❤
I've been growing as much as I can, however everything is taking so long to grow this year. Canning, freezing, dehydrating everything i can! This whole summer the sky has been strange, guess it's those wildfires. We have to do as much as we can to be self sustaining. Love your channel ❤
Jamerrill, I enjoy your videos. Attached is a video that while unfortunately is in Spanish, fortunately it shows the traditional way of making tortillas. The UA-cam content provider uses a warm tortilla press that makes a thin perfectly round tortilla that she takes from the tortilla press and places immediately on the plancha (griddle) to cook. That is the tortilla press you’re looking for to make the flour tortillas without having to roll them out! I hope this helps! Marta
Almost forgot the link! I am unable to paste it between the videos “comments.” Here is the name of the video so you can look it up: “Tortillas de Harina (Taqueras y para Burritos) - La Herencia de las Viudas”
Jamerill, use wax paper between your sourdough tortilla press. That’s pretty glossy so you should be able to pull them right off! As always, I love what you do! Keep it up.❤
Hey sweetie, I’m not sure that measuring “V” weighing is the problem. I’ve baked bread, cake’s and many other things. I’ve found that the weather has a great deal to do with all baking 💕🙏🙏
Hmm interestingly enough, here in Massachusetts, we had the haze, but it didn’t seem to affect me too much. I’m 61. I went out for walks, and did gardening, but I wasn’t running around either.
flour tortillas... I have been told that if you let the dough rest 30 min. after cutting them into individual pieces then they can be pressed out on a press and won't shrink back down. Good luck!
You could sit with the scale and mega weigh out 8 jars of flour and other ingredients so when you do a mega bake day, you just have to dump the jar of weighted ingredients into your bowl. That might be the next step toward using weighted ingredients in all your baking.
Just think you will still want freezer meals when it's just you and hubby because you will have grandkids to feed but you will need two sizes some for two and some way more more good times comeing yea freezer meals will never end❤❤❤❤❤❤
My grandmother used to mix her eggs up like omelet consistency for scrambling. There was no way she would eat egg with a bit of eggwhite visible. When I scramble like more then 4-5 eggs I give them a quick whisk so all the yolks are broken. Maybe an idea for a next time you come across an ostrich egg. Whisk it a bit might give less of the little seperate bits of white.
easy way to weigh out ingredients, get a scale you where you can zero it out then place your measuring cup on it and zero it out then set it for ounces or grams and then pour it in that will give you both cups and and grams for measurement's I had to do that when I was my dad's care taker he could only have a few grams of certain foods so I had to punt and I did this so once I got down the grams in measuring cups I was just able to hit the floor running
I know there are ways to have great starter from growing grapes, lettuce other fruits and vegetables. The spores transfer to the kitchen and you can have your own great starter. Your baking will be so much easier. Hopefully your climate can grow some of these fruits and vegetables. The best of luck.
Your so interesting im learning so much i love to cook now ima try to cook mega freezer meals. Im a dialysis patient but i do have a faimly of 6 im the main cook here. Thanks for all you do its greatly appreciated ❤❤❤❤❤ Fayetteville NC
Maybe you could buy a pasta attachment for your kitchen aid to press out your tortilla dough? Just running it through on the thickest setting may work.
Hey , from up here in British Columbia Canada. I enjoy watching your youtube often. Just some encouragement from someone whose summers are most often filled with smoke . Sometimes for a few weeks , sometimes all summer. Unless you have existing respiratory issues that could be aggravated by smoke...I have never heard of anyone getting a cold from smoke. Yes , you should be careful if it bothers you . However , most of us up here try and go about our lives as without letting it stop us. Sometimes Im sad when I cant see the mountains around me when the smoke fills the air, but we keep doing all the things . We raise our own meat and butcher it as well. We have never found any issues with meat , even on our smokiest summers. Even my huge garden and the orchards that run through this huge valley have not slowed down . Not till we had the record braking heat wave from a few years ago when we were the hottest place on earth for a few weeks. The growing fruit etc took a toll. Yet , a lot still survived. This winter we had a very unusual deep cold snap for our area, which has damaged more than the smoke ever has. Just wanting to encourage you that plants are amazing , even in the smoke. I thought I would have to do some hand pollinating some smokiest years ...but never have had to.
I know what you mean about waiting for people for things like that. We've been waiting over a month through all the heat in Georgia for a repairman for our new one year old air conditioning unit. Fortunately, we have a free standing unit we could hook up in our bedroom to go cool down in. Very frustrating. For your tortillas try putting parchment paper on the top and bottom.
Wondering if you could make the pancakes smaller and thicker like a picklet we have in Australia you can serve them cold topped with butter and honey or jam or nutella and be a quick and easy lake snack.
Two things: lots of tortillas take forever to roll out, try using a pasta roller (kitchen aid has one) for the first rollout. Then finish by hand. Second thing, can you talk about how much less garbage and recycling you have now that your doing less grocery shopping.
To get rid of the whites you could have beaten in the bender or with beaters till combined. Instead of milk you could have used a little water to get the fluffy texture. You can use the water with regular eggs also to save on milk.
Love seeing you do sourdough. I have been making it since 2020 and since I am pre-diabetic, it's basically the only bread I can eat. I, too made the artisian loaves, but now make the sandwich bread, which goes further for our household. Baker Bettie has an excellent video (and recipe)😊 on her UA-cam channel. You might enjoy it, too. Just FYI (I also make tortillas and only use my tortilla press for corn tortillas. They just don't work as well for flour tortillas, unfortunately. ) Those I roll out very thinly.
Jamerill, I saw a 17” cast iron with the two handles at our Blain’s Farm and Fleet!! 😮Wow! On your large stove, they don’t look as big as they actually are! I have my Mom’s cast iron skillet! We did get a 12” cast iron skillet with the two handles! I haven’t used it yet! We were really going for jars and lids for canning relish!
Unsifted recommends a cucino pro tortilla press/griddle that they say works well on freshly milled flour tortillas. I haven't tried it because it's non stick and I try to avoid that but some people in amazon reviews use it to press the tortilla and cook them on cast iron. So maybe your press will work!
I noticed this when watching your latest videos, where you’re using your stand mixer, that you’re not locking the bowl into place. You really should lock it down especially when making bread. To do this, when you have the bowl in position, push down on the back of the bowl. You should hear a click. Now the bowl won’t flop around on you. Love your videos.
Jamerill, once you’ve shape balls of dough to prep them for the tortilla press, let them rest for about 10 minutes they will work just fine, at least in my experience that’s been the case.
Absolutely. I find that any dough for pita pockets, tortillas, the dough always rolls out better if its rested in the ball stage.
@connievassilev7911 that's what I've seen done in restaurants, resting the dough really does work!
I'm up doing all the things tonight! I have 11 children to get ready for church tomorrow, food, clothes, and all the things. I get to watch your video while I prepare! God is good! Haha!
Zeus's wife I enjoyed your video as always ostrich egg cracking was very entertaining you couldn't make a fried egg with a soft yolk haha
I have watched you for years as my comfort channel. I have no kids, but I find your big batch cooking videos so peaceful and soothing. It is so wonderful how you have transformed and grown in your content and I enjoy watching all your from scratch meals as I cook simple, natural foods myself. 💘

Hello Jamerill I get anxious for your next video every time. Am excited for your next venture. Love you so much and all you do
From quail to ostrich...this video was so fun, informative, and egg-citing!!❤🙏🏾
Just what we would eggspect from Jammy 😃
What a wealth of knowledge Jamerill has! She’s always on top of navigating successfulness at everything she does 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 The course will help so many! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🤍🤍🤍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You also inspire me when you never throw away any food. Scraps go to the animals and the left over food makes a second round.

The secret for the flour tortillias is after you divide the dough into the amount of tortillias it's suppose to make, is to tuck each portion into a nice tight ball then to get a nice quick circle using your rolling pin press each tortilla then rotate the tortillia each time 1/4 turn.

That is so cute and funny! 😂
The half bra was probably one that was too small 😂. I've definitely referred to the too small bra that I accidently bought as a half a bra before

Anyone else love Jammerrill’s face while she was deciding what to say about the egg ? Hmm, trying to be kind and gracious as always 😊
I had concerns 😜
I would have probably had the same type of expression 😅❤
@JamerrillStewart it was the what the heck was I thinking look!😅
I enjoyed everything, but I really really enjoyed you making that giant egg and all the other different eggs. Awesome!😊❤🙏🏻

God bless you and your family. Always looking forward to your videos. You are such a great mom. I admire you.

Oh ! For a minute I thought that was a balloon and my mind boggled as to what was coming 😁 Xx
I HAVE a cast iron tortilla press and use it on flour tortilla all the time. I got it because when researching, the weight of the press helps with the gluten in the dough. So go for it.
With the quail eggs it is fun to do mini breakfast. Bite size biscuits and mini sausage patties and mini bacon pieces. Little kids love it.
As a Canadian, yes we have renewed forest fires. I believe there are fires in California and Nevada and over on the American eastern seaboard. We are suffering too. When it gets really smoky, it cools the gardens. It is so hard.
Love, love all the things!
I always love watching you and your family ❤️😊🙏thank you for sharing your knowledge and life with us.
Thank you so much for all the encouragement you give in your videos. My daughter, daughter-in-law and myself are going to get together and do a big batch cooking week end and then split them between the three families. This is going to be a great help to me since I am wheelchair bound and have a lot of difficulty cooking for myself. You are the one that gave us the inspiration to do this. Thank you and God bless.
That’s a wonderful idea!! Let me know how it goes 😊😊😊
Good morning I want to thank you for sharing your videos I've learned a lot from you I want to let you know I see your vision about the stores I know from time to time you going to drop in there and get something out of there but I do see your vision and I wish I could do it not have to go to the stores because it's uncomfortable going in there because all the things you see on the news today so enjoy have a blessed day
You're doing great Jamerill on your sourdough. I started sourdough in May, also following Lisa. I've tried her sandwich bread recipe which your family might like, it makes 2 loaves.
I really appreciate the info about the gluten intolerance and sour dough. It is really helpful … and you have done the experimenting for me!!!! Thank you again.
Yes you can use the tortilla press for flour tortillas I do all the time.
These fires in Canada are hurting people, here in Minnesota it is terrible! Went to Ladysmith in Wisconsin, no haze, and we came back to Minnesota and it was hazy again, this haze has been here for at least a month! It makes you feel sick, and I feel that this is being done on purpose. The haze has to be carrying more than just smoke ! I try to go into the garden early morning, and not being out in it for more than a couple of hours! Each morning, it looks like it is going to rain, gray and not your normal summer clarity. I wonder how many have noticed this?
A cast iron press works fine on flour tortillas..my daughter and grand daughter use one. I've made three to six dozen by rolling them out by hand using a roller my father-in-law made for me when I was first married...he used a broom handle from a industrial broom, cut about six to twelve inches long. He then sanded all the rough edges and it fit perfectly for my small hand.
You should try Farmhouse on the Boone's sourdough sandwich bread. It is easy and very tasty, great for a substitute for regular sandwich bread. No stretch and folds either.
The Ostrich egg was really neat to see how you cracked the egg and cooked it….thank you for sharing so interesting….Ostrich egg👍
I wish I could afford a freeze dryer...Im praying God will make a way for us to get one as I plan on getting a garden started as well. thank you for all the info about growing.
You could always roll out a mega big sheet of thin tortilla dough then use a bowl to cut out the rounded shape.either cereal bowls or Tupperware bowls until you find the right size that works for you
Jemerall i love watching you and also so inspiring and hope to one day get to grow,raise my own food please keep doing what you’re doing because I will be watching love you
Just started watching.
Thank you.
Happy Saturday evening.

I usually have my kids’ friends come over and we do a tortilla party a few times a year. We make tons of them and I send a bunch home with each kid, as well as putting a whole lot of them in our freezer. If I didn’t have the help I know for sure that I wouldn’t make them lol. It’s a ton of work!
Sweetness I absolutely love what you have done with your seating area the cabinet is perfect for the space
You are a Queen,,,,a true inspiration to me
Ok, now I hope tomorrow we don't see 2 ostriches in your backyard for eggs..lol. we went from small quail eggs to the big ostrich egg all in one video. Very informative. You made me laugh right when you seemed hesitant to take a bite. Thanks for sharing.
Ive been with you from the Start Jamerrill. There is one thing I have always wanted (and I believe you did dip your toes in) I would LOVE for you to read audio books. ❤️ Your voice is so soothing to me. And the more my eye sight fails, the more I rely on other senses. 😊
I love that idea! It would be like being a kid again! She definitely has the most soothing voice I can't imagine her yelling or screaming such a calm soul I just love her and all she does ❤❤
I've been growing as much as I can, however everything is taking so long to grow this year. Canning, freezing, dehydrating everything i can! This whole summer the sky has been strange, guess it's those wildfires. We have to do as much as we can to be self sustaining. Love your channel ❤
Jamerrill,
I enjoy your videos. Attached is a video that while unfortunately is in Spanish, fortunately it shows the traditional way of making tortillas. The UA-cam content provider uses a warm tortilla press that makes a thin perfectly round tortilla that she takes from the tortilla press and places immediately on the plancha (griddle) to cook. That is the tortilla press you’re looking for to make the flour tortillas without having to roll them out!
I hope this helps!

Almost forgot the link! I am unable to paste it between the videos “comments.” Here is the name of the video so you can look it up: “Tortillas de Harina (Taqueras y para Burritos) - La Herencia de las Viudas”
Your sour dough bread looks delicious! You amaze me with all you do!!
Jamerill, use wax paper between your sourdough tortilla press. That’s pretty glossy so you should be able to pull them right off! As always, I love what you do! Keep it up.❤
Thanks for the tip, i use butcherfoil.
Looks delicious and yummy 😋 😍 👌 😊 👍 😊
Hey sweetie, I’m not sure that measuring “V” weighing is the problem. I’ve baked bread, cake’s and many other things. I’ve found that the weather has a great deal to do with all baking 💕🙏🙏
Great video Jamerrill. You are such an awesome inspiration not only to
Me but to so many
Hmm interestingly enough, here in Massachusetts, we had the haze, but it didn’t seem to affect me too much. I’m 61. I went out for walks, and did gardening, but I wasn’t running around either.
flour tortillas... I have been told that if you let the dough rest 30 min. after cutting them into individual pieces then they can be pressed out on a press and won't shrink back down. Good luck!
Hey, can you use the Kitchenaid pasta attachment to roll out tortillas? Love your videos❤️
You could sit with the scale and mega weigh out 8 jars of flour and other ingredients so when you do a mega bake day, you just have to dump the jar of weighted ingredients into your bowl. That might be the next step toward using weighted ingredients in all your baking.
Just think you will still want freezer meals when it's just you and hubby because you will have grandkids to feed but you will need two sizes some for two and some way more more good times comeing yea freezer meals will never end❤❤❤❤❤❤
My grandmother used to mix her eggs up like omelet consistency for scrambling. There was no way she would eat egg with a bit of eggwhite visible. When I scramble like more then 4-5 eggs I give them a quick whisk so all the yolks are broken. Maybe an idea for a next time you come across an ostrich egg. Whisk it a bit might give less of the little seperate bits of white.
easy way to weigh out ingredients, get a scale you where you can zero it out then place your measuring cup on it and zero it out then set it for ounces or grams and then pour it in that will give you both cups and and grams for measurement's I had to do that when I was my dad's care taker he could only have a few grams of certain foods so I had to punt and I did this so once I got down the grams in measuring cups I was just able to hit the floor running
I know there are ways to have great starter from growing grapes, lettuce other fruits and vegetables. The spores transfer to the kitchen and you can have your own great starter. Your baking will be so much easier. Hopefully your climate can grow some of these fruits and vegetables. The best of luck.
I’ve always beat my eggs throughly in bowl w milk (or water) to avoid chucks of egg whites cooked up. I think it makes them fluffier too.
Your so interesting im learning so much i love to cook now ima try to cook mega freezer meals. Im a dialysis patient but i do have a faimly of 6 im the main cook here. Thanks for all you do its greatly appreciated ❤❤❤❤❤ Fayetteville NC
I used to decorate egg shells as a hobby - I would have loved to get my hands on that ostrich one, ha!
You might have gotten the smoke from Nova Scotia. Fires were bad and we got a bit too. Now they are dealing with floods in the same area.
We got the smoke a bit. No fires luckily.
Hi Angel girl 😘 I'm the first one here 💕 Woohoo 😂 God bless you and your family ❤️ love you guys 😇🥰😇😇
Maybe you could buy a pasta attachment for your kitchen aid to press out your tortilla dough? Just running it through on the thickest setting may work.
Hey , from up here in British Columbia Canada. I enjoy watching your youtube often. Just some encouragement from someone whose summers are most often filled with smoke . Sometimes for a few weeks , sometimes all summer. Unless you have existing respiratory issues that could be aggravated by smoke...I have never heard of anyone getting a cold from smoke. Yes , you should be careful if it bothers you . However , most of us up here try and go about our lives as without letting it stop us.
Sometimes Im sad when I cant see the mountains around me when the smoke fills the air, but we keep doing all the things .
We raise our own meat and butcher it as well. We have never found any issues with meat , even on our smokiest summers. Even my huge garden and the orchards that run through this huge valley have not slowed down . Not till we had the record braking heat wave from a few years ago when we were the hottest place on earth for a few weeks. The growing fruit etc took a toll. Yet , a lot still survived. This winter we had a very unusual deep cold snap for our area, which has damaged more than the smoke ever has.
Just wanting to encourage you that plants are amazing , even in the smoke. I thought I would have to do some hand pollinating some smokiest years ...but never have had to.
I know what you mean about waiting for people for things like that. We've been waiting over a month through all the heat in Georgia for a repairman for our new one year old air conditioning unit. Fortunately, we have a free standing unit we could hook up in our bedroom to go cool down in. Very frustrating. For your tortillas try putting parchment paper on the top and bottom.
Because of you I have started sourdough thanks I think it will be good for me and my husband. Love from Virginia ❤️
Love all of your dresses.
We love our tortilla press for gf!!! Makes it so much faster, we just use a pc of parchment. Our favorite are almond flour tortilla!
Wondering if you could make the pancakes smaller and thicker like a picklet we have in Australia you can serve them cold topped with butter and honey or jam or nutella and be a quick and easy lake snack.
Einkorn flour may be a good option for your family as well - much lower in gluten and works well with all of Lisa’s sourdough recipes!
I have been out for awhile, have you checked into making bread in a crock pot? Everything looks ahhh mazing.
Two things: lots of tortillas take forever to roll out, try using a pasta roller (kitchen aid has one) for the first rollout. Then finish by hand. Second thing, can you talk about how much less garbage and recycling you have now that your doing less grocery shopping.
Ostrich eggs are fun! I have a new cooking channel and love these videos!
To get rid of the whites you could have beaten in the bender or with beaters till combined. Instead of milk you could have used a little water to get the fluffy texture. You can use the water with regular eggs also to save on milk.
Love seeing you do sourdough. I have been making it since 2020 and since I am pre-diabetic, it's basically the only bread I can eat. I, too made the artisian loaves, but now make the sandwich bread, which goes further for our household. Baker Bettie has an excellent video (and recipe)😊 on her UA-cam channel. You might enjoy it, too. Just FYI (I also make tortillas and only use my tortilla press for corn tortillas. They just don't work as well for flour tortillas, unfortunately. ) Those I roll out very thinly.
Jamerill, I saw a 17” cast iron with the two handles at our Blain’s Farm and Fleet!! 😮Wow! On your large stove, they don’t look as big as they actually are! I have my Mom’s cast iron skillet! We did get a 12” cast iron skillet with the two handles! I haven’t used it yet! We were really going for jars and lids for canning relish!
If the tortilla press doesn’t work you might try the things that you would make noodles with you can get them to attach to your kitchen add
Unsifted recommends a cucino pro tortilla press/griddle that they say works well on freshly milled flour tortillas. I haven't tried it because it's non stick and I try to avoid that but some people in amazon reviews use it to press the tortilla and cook them on cast iron. So maybe your press will work!
I noticed this when watching your latest videos, where you’re using your stand mixer, that you’re not locking the bowl into place. You really should lock it down especially when making bread.
To do this, when you have the bowl in position, push down on the back of the bowl. You should hear a click. Now the bowl won’t flop around on you. Love your videos.
