*Shits on your bread* ha ha nothing personal

>>19037257
Tortilla is literally a bread.

>>19037218
>is better in every way

>>19037257
Fuck your fermented, dead fungus filled hipster bread. Flatbread is the OG bread.

>>19037218
I could eat that whole stack and still want more. slather a bit of butter on one and roll it up to enhance the flavor...oh boy I'm thinking about making a batch right now

Piadina Romagnola is a staple here where i live, especially on seaside places and i eat those at least once a week

>>19037307
I loled

>>19037218
true
God I'm so fat

>>19037218
I used to heat flour tortillas and spread butter then roll them up and eat them. That shit was like crack and I gained 50 lbs from eating them all the time, but I can't get enough of it

>>19037257
you will burn in hell one day for your sins i just wanted you to know that

>>19037478
if only they were easy to make
sure, few ingredients, but making a proper tortilla is not easy
my mom used to make me and my sister small but extra thick so we could slice it open to add butter
she had the magic touch and even those extra thick ones she made were soft

>>19037283
Make a burrito out of naan, faggot.

>>19039846
yes, it's easy to prepare the dough, and the warmth as you knead it is somewhat soothing. but I've never been able to roll out a perfect circle to my frustration. I mostly make lopsided rectangles and the occasional rough oval. and I can never roll them thin enough, as soon as they hit the pan they contract into a pita-like round.

>>19037218
Roti?

>>19038454
I just ate one for dinner, filled with south tyrolean speck, buffalo mozzarella and mayo

>>19037257
based and correctpilled.

>>19039891
mine usually end up dense and rubbery
I cannot make pie crust either
shape is not important to me, but I do have a tortilla press, when I make corn tortillas with prepared masa. I do have to put parchment paper top and bottom when I use it so it is a pain at times
pic rel
mine is aluminum and heavy already so didn’t think I needed a cast iron version. here in so commifornia, tortilla presses can easily be found at swap meets, as well a a bunch of of median cookware

>>19039891
>>19039957
my wife makes pupusas. -pic rel
use masa preparada (or dry masa, just add water type)
flatten corn tortilla in press
remove
added filling to center of tortilla
- I prefer cheese only or bean and cheese
- meat, beer, chicken, etc. often used
make second tortilla
place on top of filling
crimp masa edges, all around
pan fry in a little oil

serve with cabbage carrot oregano rice wine vinegar mix ( similar to cole slaw)

>>19037257
bread defense league to the rescue

>>19037218
>should be illegal
As soon as Brandon bans gas stoves they may as well be illegal. How else are you going to get that crisp?

>>19039933

>>19040047
I love pupusas they are soooo good

>>19037218

Oh sorry didn't realize he posted naan and not paratha yeah fuck that guy

>>19037279
That's debatable. It certainly falls under SOME definitions of bread, but some define "bread" as being a baked dough of flour, water, and yeast or other leavening agent. As tortillas don't contain yeast or other leavening agent, it could, legitimately, be said to not be bread.
Tortillas are more like an soft, underbaked cracker or just a cracker, if we're talking about corn tortillas. This isn't a denigrate them; tortillas definitely have places where they shine and where bread would fall short (e.g. tacos, burritos, chips with salsa, etc.). It's just that they're not necessarily a bread.

>>19037257
Bread is better, but tortillas are what we're taking to space with us when we colonize the galaxy.

>>19039794
I know, I used to est those all the time as a kid. Quite addictive.

>>19037218
Yay, finally bought this. Internet says seasoning stainless steel not necessary but you can still do it. What do.

>>19041920
Actually I think it’s aluminum but heavy

>>19037218
do any of you hate the taste of naan? It has this weird sour taste which is pretty nasty. I don't know why pajeets can't make it without the nasty sour taste, but it's disappointing that every time it has that sour taste like spoiled milk. Why can't they make a more appealing flatbread?

Can just eat these as is, so goddamn good.

a bit more butta n heat em up, *chefs kiss*

>>19040186

>>19037267

who the fuck puts salt in a bowl then the flour?

i used bacon fat first time i made from scratch - def need some lard. actually i used butter the first time, it was ok. the bacon was better. trying to replicte the local tortilla maker around here, and mine arent as good yet, but gonna kep trying. thing is, i dont really see any tips on quality, as the recipe is so simple.

>>19039794
>used
bro w t f - go have a delicious buttery tortilla ff s

>>19040195
go buy a gun and practice on yourself

There's a Mexican grocery that has a restaurant inside in my town, and they make tortillas on site. I was standing in line and noticed the guy running thr tortilla machine in the distance wasn't paying attention and didn't realize all the tortillas keaving the machine on the wire conveyor belt had started to form into this giant dough ball that was just rolling in place and getting bigger and bigger, so i yelled at him to get his attention and pointed at it, and he ran over and fixed it before it got wedged in the oven and started fucking things up. He gave me a free 5lb pack of hot fresh tortillas on my way out. It was pretty cool.

>>19042632
While I'm thinking of this.. i used to work at a restaurant and the mexican manager would send me to go get tortillas from the same place, and she'd cut them into triangles and make chips, she'd make this dish that was rice and potatoes and the crunchy chips with what i think was pork and green chiles.. goddamn it was good, anyone know what that's called?

>>19042883
>when I got off that site
>reddit spacing

>>19037257
After 25 years of being forced to eat bread twice a day, as the one who cooks dinners now I've been bullying my family into consuming tortillas against their will.

>>19038454
Based piadinarolo, my fav is prosciutto crudo, bufala, rucula and tomato with a drizzle of olive oil, sometimes i use gorgonzola instead of bufala and it's pretty great.

>>19037269
*prepares it into a sandwich* right back atcha pal >:)

>So heckin good it should be illegalrino!

Can someone tell me why Chiptole's tortillas are so good and stretchy, while tijuana flatts are just kinda...snappable?

>>19039957
I use a wood one with plastic, lol. Like two cutting boars attached to a lever. Shit works great. Why would you need a cast iron?

>>19041940
>>19041920
I don't think you need to season a comal of any material. Tortillas don't really stick if your dough is good. If it sticks, season it. Lol.

>>19041951
Oh boy don't try that ethiopian tortilla, you may die.

>>19043846
Dude the fucking comal burnt when I tried the first tortilla unseasoned. This is bullshit.

>>19037218
