One of our readers gave this great tip to get the right consistency. Hope
this helps! "You want these to cook fairly quick if they cook to long on a
low heat they will not roll up and they will be more of a cracker.If the
heat is to high they will have burn spots and not be done all the way
through.this will be a trial and error for some as your griddle is not
mine.Just be patient and you will get it."

Well try try again....I tried to use wheat from my food storage....hmmm...I used hard white...in the wondermill deluxe hand grinder, the first batch was too course they turned out like wheat thins, the second batch I ground twice so it was fine, but they still turned out like soft crackers, not fluffy soft tortillas.....any suggestions?

I will have to try that. I do that when I make my bread - allow the dough to soak and rest for 12-24 hours before I add the last cup or so of wheat and then proof the yeast. It is a way to make sprouted wheat bread without the hastle of actually making it sprout. It does make a huge difference in tast. Thanks for suggesting it for the tortillas. It will enhance the nutritional value also to allow it to 'rest'.

You said you halved the recipe (18 balls) so does that mean usually you get 36? And did you use hard or soft wheat? Thanks.

I used to help a lady that made at least three dozen tortillas daily. The most inexpensive rolling tool to get the job done is one inch wooden dowels. We used ones that were between four and six inches long. These work great.

The tortilla press is for corn tortillas' the dough is soft (made of masa) and when pressed between 2 pieces of a plastic freezer bag it makes a perfect circle. You pull off the plastic gently before putting on the griddle.

With flour tortillas as you are making here the only choice is to roll it out. But that is really fast to do. I find the big sweeping motion of a rolling pin much faster to use, but I love your creative use of "what ever I have on hand" tools.

The whole wheat tortillas dry out easy so keeping them in a heavy plastic bag really helps.

Yummy food!

Dear Julie,
My daughter makes tortillas often. She adds a twist, that I think is fun. She changes them by adding different ingredients in place of the water. For example, she might add either spinach (frozen or fresh) or tomatoes (canned or sauce), she might add seasonings also (herbs or sun-dried tomatoes.) This not only looks neat, but add a different flavor and more nutrition.
Thanks, Connie

Devon, I make a lot of homemade tortillas and I don't refrigerate the leftovers at all. Just wrap them in plastic or wax paper and keep them like bread. They tend to go hard in the freezer unless vacuum packed. You can make a smaller batch. Just cut the recipe down.

Julie, if I were to stick these in the fridge, how long do you think they'd last? Could I freeze them, do you think? Thanks for any advice--I'm trying this next week and we can't use 18 tortillas at a time...well, my husband might be able to...

Try refrigerating the dough 8-10 hours, you wouldn't think there would be a difference but there is! Yummy!
