Ingredients:
450g (750 mL / 3 cups) all purpose flour
7 mL (1½ tsp) coarse salt
10 mL (2 tsp) baking powder
100g lard
250 mL (1 cup) warm - hot water
Method:
Place flour, salt, baking powder and lard in a food processor.
Pulse until the contents look like wet sand.
Turn the machine on, and slowly drizzle in the water until a dough ball forms.
Allow to run for 1 minute or so after the dough ball forms.
Take the dough out of the machine and let rest in a covered bowl, or wrapped in cling film for 30-45 minutes.
Portion the rested dough into 16 balls that weigh around 50g each.
Cover and let rest 10-15 minutes.
Heat your tortilla press over a medium high burner, and press each ball individually for 15-20 seconds.
Lift the top plate and turn over and continue cooking until done.

Thanks for watching Everyone! Big shoutout to @Chuds Bbq for the help on this one - Bradly has a great channel you should check it out.
*As always the recipe is in the description box... Though I have come to realise that even some longtime RUclips viewers don't know that the description box exists - so I may have to make a video about it.*
I discovered your channel the same time I found Chuds BBQ. I was looking up sausage recipes and found your apple maple sausage and his beef sausage recipes. I have learned a ton from both channels. Thank you for all the great information!
no worries, i forgot the beans too
Glen, I worked at a pizza crust factory as a dough maker. Even when we were making 160 kg batches of dough we would feel them to see if they moved correctly. (if that makes sense)
Also your tortilla hack is used to make frozen pizza crusts.
We ran our platens at about 350 F/176 C for about 5 seconds but cooking wasn't part of the equation. Just forming the dough for freezing and then other plants put their ingredients on them. We served a number of chains and freezer section brands.
How does this technique work for corn tortilla's?
@@andrathiele2638 the press works fine for corn tortillas.in fact, the press was designed for corn tortillas.
Many Hispanic people don't use the press for flour tortillas and only use it for the ones made from corn.
This man really made this video without putting an affiliate Amazon link for a cast iron tortilla press in the description - what a legend
My man's already got that KFC money 🐔🐔😎
Nothing wrong putting affiliate links, makes it easy for people who want to buy same tools he is using
Some folks just want to see the world learn.
Just buy them at your local Latino grocery store, that isn't difficult. I mean the CAST IRON TORTILLA PRESS, not the old corn tortillas in a package.
There are electric tortilla presses to make flour tortillas. I have seen them here in Baja and are about $30 US dll.
Saludos.
The sound the dough makes as its being squeezed could probably be used in horror movies
Perhaps try space marine tortillas?
😂
Steam rushing out. Tortillas farting moisture
glen and scott the miniature maniac? what is this, a crossover episode?
Gotta love when you spot one of your other youtube interests on glen's channel, collaboration of miniatures and food?! :P
Super easy taco night hack: First hand forge a tortilla press...
😃
@tyvek05
Oh tyvek, bless your heart...
Do you explain all the jokes you hear?
Glen I’m from Mexico, and I thanks you should try to recreate tamarind soda.
One that looks like lemon, it's jamaica but tastes as tamarind would be great!
@@GeomancerHT chavo del ocho reference
I would love to see that
4:47 - “Is the tortilla supposed to be screaming?” “That’s how you know it’s fresh.”
The Chudd's BBQ channel has quickly become my favorite BBQ channel on RUclips over the past couple months. Pretty awesome seeing that one of my favorite cooking channels watches one ofy other favorites!
If you’re running out of bacon fat, you’re not eating enough bacon. Get with the program, Glen!
@Krazy Kanuck you are right But, you must not cook much or you would not need to store it so long.
Try making corn bread and using bacon fat and buttermilk. A good pot of fresh cooked pinto beans goes right good with the cornbread. And the beans are just right to refry them the next day.
I can't thank you enough for this haha. I already had the same press, but had just determined it was only good for corn tortillas after getting no where with flour on it. I had been handrolling flour tortillas, making terrible shapes, taking forever, and making a mess. This worked amazing!
Glen:
Real Talk Time. My family has a genetic factor that puts us at severe risk from lung infections. Although take out is an option for us, not everyone delivers, and not everything can be reheated to be made free of contagion and still be the same thing. My wife dreadfully misses being able to eat at our local Mexican Restaurants, mainly due to how they make their tortillas. I've tried....I end up with something that's more flat-bread like. I can never quite get it right. I really appreciate your efforts here, as I already have these tools at my disposal. This should cure that jones for her. Thanks!
6 cups flour 3 large serving spoons of shortening if your dough is to dry add more next time . i like the beef tallow Walmart kind pinch of salt or 2 , tip of a spoon of baking powder, baking soda 1 and ¾ cups of milk i mix the shortening until it's well incorporated squeeze the mixture over and over add warm milk a bit at a time and it should come together if you need more water add it in small amounts. Once it's a ball of dough i put mine in the microwave for 30 seconds i work the dough 30 more seconds microwave work the dough and let rest for at least 2 hours in a warm place i like his technic but i use a rolling pin and i make about 4 dozen tortillas from this amount his method is way faster. Keep trying and trust me your tortillas will be much better than any factory funny smelling flour tortillas they sell at the store.
I started making my own flat breads lately and wow - yummy. Mine look very much like yours with much the same ingredients. 👍👍

"I like Squirt"
I was thinking “he forgot the beans!”
Looks really great! Thanks for sharing w us!
I absolutely love your videos and both of you!
great episode....love the way you are inventive and try different approaches...YES!!!!
So now I need to go buy a tortilla press.
I don't like superfluous kitchen gadgets, but I love my tortilla press. I don't even have a toaster (I use the broiler in the oven).
Tortilla presses are also good for papusas, chapati, and basically anything you need near paper thin. So they aren't as single-use as the name would suggest.
Run don't walk to your local Latinos store.
Good looking tortillas!
Keep em coming.
Descended from one of the many Rodriguez girls, my grandmother made tortillas, my mom too. It was not our mainstay, that was pasta. However, I was REALLY taught how to make tortillas by two Mexican Father-in-Laws. Secret, warm water [you got that X] AND the information that the fat/oil should be less than you think. In fact, it only has one purpose, to grease your hands! Do not add salt, do not add any other additives. [Milk, if you are making for kids who won't drink their milk!] I love your show... how much? A lot, you are clear, concise, fun! Love that Jules comes on at the end! ~Marie
thank you for this video that actually uses the press on heat. It is made of cast iron, after all, but many people fail to grasp the fact that you can cook with the press!!!!! Great vid, new subscriber.
Chud's BBQ is awesome, I hope his channel keeps growing as fast as it is. He genuinely deserves a big audience
I'm going to have to head over there to see what the fuss is about!
I search for a video like this from Smoky Ribs BBQ channel. Love Chuds BBQ too. Thanks for sharing I’m definitely going to try. I appreciate it.
Genius idea. I love it!
I finally got my tortilla press built, modified off of, and thanks to Chudds awesome video showing how he did his. Now it’s seasoned and ready to roll so I’m hunting for my initial tortilla recipe. Have you experimented any more with your recipe? I noticed at the end of this video you mentioned trying milk again. I searched your videos and never noticed a newer tortilla video than this one that is a year old now so thought I would check. Thanks for all your great content, I love all your cooking shows!
Omg that looks amazing.
Did you season your press? I have the same one but use it cold with the plastic baggie hack. Thanks for the tip!
After you made your vertical cooking contraption I was really thinking you'd make a tortilla press. Great video in any case.
I love your channel. Thank you!
I love the video collab! Hopefully you can do more of those in the future.
What I awesome idea. I can't wait to try it with mine thank you
I need to get myself a tortilla press stat. This looks so delicious and satisfying! Thank you for the wonderful food content!
Glen, try flour tortillas with just some butter/margarine! It goes great with coffee. It’s a north Mexico staple!
Flour tortillas with butter are THE best!
Ohhhh MY PEOPLE!!!!
As a kid my family thought I was a little nutty for eating warm flour tortillas w butter only.
But they're just sooooo GOOD!
HOW CAN YOU NOT !!!
And full disclosure:
they weren't wrong about me being a little nutty!
We call those Butertillas
Same goes for a pita. Stick it in the toaster and put some salted butter on it. My go-to midnight snack.
@@gardengatesopen put a little cinnamon and sugar on them. Better than plain cinnamon toast.
Glen, love this technique! I too over fill my tacos, and found a method of holding my tacos to prevent all the goodies from oozing out. Take your little finger and fold the end up, holding your finger in place to reinforce and hold in the fillings, and what do you know, you can even put more goodies into your taco!!! Please give this a try! My way to pay you back for all your good tips and making my cooking ever more delish!!!!!
That's what we do here in Texas.
Tacos 101.
It's a thing. ♡
Directions unclear. Missing pinky finger now.
Great ep!
Brilliant, Glen! I have the same press. Now I don't have to use plastic to keep the dough from sticking and the results are superior done your way!!!
I have the same one too. This is brilliant. I just wish it was bigger.
Marilyn, do you also use your press directly on stovetop?
Holy smokes!! That’s life changing!
Love Chud! Wow Glen, reinventing the wheel here!
I am immensly grateful for finding this. I was so excited that I immediately ran to tell my husband. I just bought that same tortilla press so I don't think mine is seasoned to be nonstick but I'll keep working on it. This is just the coolest idea!!!
This is great! Thanks :)
Wow! Thank you! I'm getting me one of those! Lol. Nice job!
thank you for your wonderful videos! 2 out of 2 success for me in making the torillas and also the sourdo pizza. May i ask which deli slicer you bought?
BRILLIANT!!! I KNEW there was a reason I bought a cast iron tortilla press!!! Thank you!
I like that you put the dough ball off center on the press. I’m going to try this tonight!
Your videos are so relaxing
Curious, have you tried cooking corn tortillas the same way ??
Absolutely love this idea
Great video. I tried using a tortilla press. It did not work well out at all. Should I have put it on heat? If so will an electric stove with elements work?
Great video. Loved the humor in this one. Cant wait to go out and get a fajita iron.
Awesome video!! What food processor are you using. Can you post the link? Thanks!!
My fav tortilla recipe, 3C ap flour, 1.5 t salt, 1 t baking powder, 1/3 C oil, 1 C HOT water. I make the dough in my bread machine on the "Dough" cycle. Wonderful results!
Awesome! Does it work with massa / corn ?
Glen, I envy you your deli slicer, and the tortillas look delicious! Nothing like homemade food of any kind for freshness!
Muy bue video Glen
Thank you!
Yummmmyyyyy. I need that tortilla press!!!!!!
Thank you.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
i thought you added the dough sound in!!! 😂 thanks for the vid glen. tasty
great hack
Fricking Smart!!! You are the only one I have found cooking on the press.... duh... Thank you!!! Now to get the best press for this
Yummy!!!
Hey Glen..A few years ago I lived in Socal and in Riverside there is a place called oho de agua (waterhole) and there I saw a lady (Grandmother) that brought out a large bowl of dough and by hand, she made the tortillas 1 by 1, about 50+ and all the same diameter. To me, this was the best tortilla I have ever had and my best friend from Mexico said this was the closest to being real from Mexico.
Oooooh, I know of a certain Uncle in Canukistan who'd happily mill you out a big ol' Tortilla press from the finest titanium on the ol' Town Pump.
Christ don't let it slip or they'll all want one, the town pump is bountiful but squeeze too hard and she'll run dryer than the better half after she figgers out who left greasy fingerprints all over the master bathroom
Maybe a planche mignonne or two.
Anybody else get nervous with Glen pushing down on the cast iron press on top of a glass cooktop?
Squirt is my favorite soda. Plus all the obvious dirty jokes. Love the channel and the inspiration as always Glen and Julie.
Is good!
Thank you for sharing your experience and ideas, definitely we will make it soon, we have a similar recipe in our channel.
Super cool wholesome
One of life's little victories!
Glad to see your heated press cooked tasty tortillas. I've bad experience with electric tortilla press. Tortillas seemed to dry up. Not so much to become crispy, but instead tougher to chew/bite. Same kneeded flour when rolled out with pin and cooked on griddle, it's very different and more likeable for my personal preference. Don't know if it's just about moisture, or the pressure and heat combined have some effect as well.
2 years later and I'm finding this same issue with my hot tortilla press method. I can keep the tortillas very moist and pliable but they're sooooo chewy
I have that same press,,, never never never have I considered cooking on it. Ty man!
Here in México there are electric presses to make flour tortillas, you just plug it and use it. They are really cheap too, about $30 dlls.
Saludos.
Me puedes pasar el dato por favor necesito una electric press para las de harina me salen cuadradas !!! Hahaha te lo agradecería !
What a great idea. Do you think this might work with corn tortillas too?
I bough Brads contraption - it works amazing for tortillas and other stuff!
Never thought of doing that, can you do that with corn tortillas as well?
A lightbulb moment for me about a year ago: The taco stays level, the *head tilts* - no more filling in your lap. Love your videos!
You were obviously not given enough tacos as a child, and I am sorry you had to go through that.
Tacos 101
What a cute couple! And nice hack to keep in mind, thanks
greetings, would be nice to know how pliable they were moly cause i heard crunching as you bit into your taco. must the time flour tortillas do not crunch. thanks for hack
sounds like something we want to try
Awesome trick, I just got my Victoria and want to give this a try. Will a knead attachment in a kitch aide work instead of a food processor?
I did this and it works! I might be looking at different recipes as I felt my tortillas were a little greasy for my tastes, but otherwise, what a great idea!
Take Glen's recipe and try reducing the fat to 80g (lard or butter). I also don't use baking powder. I'm rolling out with a pin and making a big mess, good to know this method works. Time to order a cast iron press.
what cut of beef did you slice paper thin?
Thanks I'm just starting to make my own tortillas
I've been hand rolling tortillas for a few years now and have been eyeing up cast iron tortilla presses for a while now. Might invest and give this a go.
❓so which press are you using and can you provide a link please ? I don’t see link.
And, what temp do you set stove to? I have glass top electric.
Thanks Glen! Want to try this great idea! Just made homemade ones today, wasn’t so fun rolling them & my recipe called for butter and they weren’t supple or tasty.
Very interesting !!!
Please explore the subject of tortillas !!!
I've seen people flavor the dough. Wonder how it tastes.
Can I use cast iron tortilla press on gas stove set on medium low? I sure hope so, thanks for sharing. 😊
Bradley and Glen on one show? I saw Bradley's build video a while ago (even shared it with my ex-pat Mexican friends) but in looking for a new fat to flour ratio (to make the tortillas pliable) I came across this (TORTILLA PRESS ON THE HOB/STOVE?). What an epiphany!!!!
Thanks Glen and Bradley!!!
Just for note, trying to nail the tortilla recipe by using bakers %, I have to use butter/ghee/oil due (marriage... how can people not ear lard???). and bread flour (to raise the gluten, 6% produced great tasting tortillas but not so pliable, 16% was better, I see your test here was 22%. As you suggest that you are going to find the perfect recipe, mind running the test?
I’ve got a similar press but it’s not cast iron, might me aluminum I’m not really sure??? It’s literally the same as what you have except shiny..... do you think I could do this with it?
The little head nod that telegraphs when Glen is about to tell us how much he loves something
Hey, did you have to season that press at all?
Greetings, how pliable are your tortillas .... demonstration? Thank you
My jaw actually legit dropped seeing this! I have been doing mine in a cast iron pan and rolling them out with a pin. They are always slightly wonky, but my mission is clear now. What a fantastic idea!
Seriously! I've been doing the same darn thing.
Squirt is one of my favorite sodas! :D
I used your technique for keto tortillas (based on Diedre's Kitchen bread recipe minus the yeast). I actually gasped with glee when my first try didn't shrink to the size of a drink coaster. They cooked beautifully--thanks for a wonderful idea.
If you have a coil electric stone. Can you still apply heat with your flat surface. Or using a griddle
THATS INGENIOUS!
What changes, if any, would be needed if one wanted to use whole wheat flour?
Hi Glen, need help. I followed recipe and used press on the stove top. I put them in a pot wrapped in a towel while I made them all, got the 16. We started eating about 15 minutes after last one was cooked. The tortillas did not remain soft, they got a bit crunchy around the outside edges. Not sure if there is a way to keep them soft like the store bought ones?
Hello there! I'm curious to know if the weight of the top plate allows for the tortilla to fluff up at all or not? I wanted to use this hack to make Indian roti and was wondering how I could fluff it up? Thanks for any info. This video has been a game changer for me. If I can press a roti and cook on the same one, nothing better than that!
Can I substitute the lard with anything else?
wow man this is Canada-Mex, i liked
Does the room temp make a difference when you rising the dough on the counter?
