Stacelee's My pizza oven tortillas...
« on: May 03, 2013, 12:54:44 pm »
MJ pointed out that this would be lost if not posted here in the Bread section.
Thank you Stacelee for posting the recipe.

My pizza oven tortillas...

330ml warm water
1 tbs salt
125ml vegetable or olive oil
675g plain flour
¼ tsp baking powder
½ tsp sugar

Place all ingredients in thermomix and knead for 3 minutes scraping bowl if necessary.
 You'll have a slightly sticky, very elastic dough.
Remove the dough from the bowl and use your hands to knead it for a few seconds on a lightly floured work surface, then
form a smooth ball.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes
Divide the dough into about 30 equal-sized pieces, each a little smaller than a Ping Pong ball for small tortillas or 15 to 16 pieces for larger.
Cover the dough pieces again to stop them from drying out while forming the tortillas.
Take a ball and roll with a rolling pin thinly (as thin as you can without making them tear)
Cook on hot griddle or in pizza machine,

On a griddle you will need to flip them twice, the first time when they start to look a little dry around the edges and brown spots begin to form.  They should puff a little.  Having the two sides of the griddle at slightly different temperatures seems to help.

In the pizza oven, they take between 1 to 2 minutes at approximately heat 2 to 2 ½.  They will take longer the more you are doing as the oven loses heat each time it is opened.  There is no need to flip them.

Store tortillas in a clean teatowel as you are making them to help keep them warm.

Thanks CC! I just came on here to put it in this section myself. You've saved me the trouble. It's received some great reviews, so I must try it, along with the 1000 other recipes I must try!! :D

Hi there, I make these but have never done them in the oven, I must try that. Another lady makes hers on her sandwhich press I want to try that also.
Just a quick tip for you, when I roll mine out I use my pasta roller, if you have one give it a go. It makes it much quicker :)

Great tips, Mrs Oliver. I was thinking that you could do these in the sandwich press. I'd like to try crepes in the sandwich press too.

Made these using tortilla press and pizza oven. Much quicker and easier than a fry pan. The dough was really easy to handle and made 16 good sized tortillas. Will use this recipe from now on. Hoping to try with beef enchiladas next. Thanks stacelee :)
