Can this used in making soft corn tortillas?

I would think it would make them a little sweeter. But a little would go a long way! It changes starches into sugars. but not after about 85 degrees.

If you look at Mission brand yellow and white tortillas, amylase appears as an ingredient. These tortillas stay soft. It's probably the amylase. How much to use would be a good question. A search of bread baking literature shows about 0.7% by weight (5 grams/700 grams of wheat flour). That might be a good starting point for corn tortillas.

possibly, but I do not think I would try it. The tortilla's are already made and this just forms to the bowl.

Yes, but you'll have a small portion of the tortilla that isn't crispy. And you'll have about 2 inches of tortilla. I prefer 8 inch.

I have not used it for tortillas, but use it for chapattis which are similar but made from whole wheat flower. I have not had any trouble with them sticking together. The stoneware warmer is wonderful, keeps the chapattis warm and is very attractive to have on the table or around the stove where I store it waiting for me to make the next batch of chapattis. You will enjoy this well made stoneware.

I don't think it's a problem - that's where the tortilla goes... :) Maybe if you wanted super-thin tortillas it might be an issue, but it makes 1-2mm thick ones with no problem.

I do not know as I do not eat corn, so would never try it. I prefer flours from smaller sized grains, & use the Fine setting. I have not ever tried the Coarse setting yet, to make cereals--like cracked grain cereal, as opposed to flours.

There is nothing at all wrong with a coconut oil cure, as far as I'm concerned. If you want to use a non-stick layer under and over the dough, waxed paper is the way to go. The waxed paper can double as a storage method to stack uncooked tortillas--leave them in the waxed paper and use fresh pieces of waxed paper for each tortilla.

I don't think so, because it is foam. I make tortillas and then this keeps them warm and soft.

I don't think that the kind of dough matters. All this does is press them, it doesn't bake them. I've used it for flour and corn (no gluten) tortillas. It is a little hard to get the thickness even. If I had to redo my purchase, I would buy one that has the pressure point in the middle not the side. Hope I helped.

Raju, I only use this to wet grind corn to make my own masa for corn tortillas. With the Atta-Kneader, I suspect it would do a fine job. Give a call to Inno Concepts. You will probably talk with the owner. Good luck, and hope this helps.P.S.. There is a returned one at Amazon Warehouse Deals right now for $183.

I have made tortillas with It and it tastes pretty good with a decent consistency. Not very good leftover though.

Hi, I haven't used it to make chuchitos, but I did make tamales with it and it came out smooth and yummy. The masa held together well, so yes. :)

I don't see why not. I will probably try it later in the growing season when I make tomato sauce. i have a much larger pan that I use for that but it is very heavy so I will try this one when making a smaller batch, Lord willing and the harvest is good this year.

No. I make homemade tortillas that are 6" to go in here or purchase 6" corn. The diameter is 8".

I am not sure about making tortillas, because I have never tried to make them on this device. Please know that should you commence experimenting with tortillas, they will look like waffles because of the design of the non-removable plates on the waffle cone maker.

yes & yes. dough needs to be slightly firm, definitely not sticky. whl wheat tortillas work. I use a combination of whl wheat, soy flour, almond flour w/ olive oil. (U can find gluton free/low carb tortilla recipes on line). aft removing them from press, I still roll them really thin w/rolling pin. hope this helps. B

No, you generally cannot use any tortilla press for flour tortillas. They are too elastic to be pressed, and must be rolled out with something like a pin. Tortilla presses should only be used for corn tortillas, which can be made easily using Masa Harina (cornmeal with slaked lime), which is available in the ethnic/latino sections of most grocery stores.
