Why would you use ChatGPT, a blurry concatenation of many recipes, instead of one of the millions of free recipes available online? Genuinely curious.

No ads, no useless walls of text teaching you life lessons, allows you to customise the ingredients and styles. Can also be very creative at times.

That’s an incredibly ironic thing for you to say.

counselwolf OP ,

I wanted to find a recipe by weight (in grams, not cups, tsp, etc.)

And most I found were in cups.


<span style="color:#323232;">2 1/2 cups (300g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, plus additional as needed
</span><span style="color:#323232;">1 teaspoon baking powder
</span><span style="color:#323232;">1/2 teaspoon table salt
</span><span style="color:#323232;">1/4 cup of any one of the following: 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature (57g), shortening (48g), lard (57g), or vegetable oil (50g)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">7/8 to 1 cup (200g to 227g) water, hot, (about 110°F to 120°F)
</span>

I found this but I don’t know how much tsp of baking powder would be

For anything that’s a tablespoon or less, it’s usually easier to use volume. Most kitchen scales aren’t precise enough to handle this.

Cheradenine , in Is this basic flour tortilla recipe correct?

N.B. I’m a bit drunk. I did make flour tortillas about two hours ago though.

My math could be wrong (see above) but that is 72% hydration which is just below Focaccia territory.

What I did: flour, pinch of salt, pork belly fat (30 grams at a guess), mix with a Danish whisk until crumbs form, very slowly add water until it comes together. No measurement for that because there are many variables.

Knead by hand for around 5 minutes. You should see small pockets of fat, but also some gluten development. It’s kind of a variation on a rough puff pastry in that regard, but it needs to be smooth. Wrap tightly and put in a cool place, fridge, next to my heart, wherever.

Ball it, let it rest a few minutes to relax the gluten, then use a tortilla press, a flat plate, or roll it. Depending on how much gluten development there is you may need to re press/ roll.

I never use baking powder, the steam is enough to leaven it sufficiently for a tortilla.

Gracias, I never thought to do a cooling gluten rest, I was wondering why my dough was so fragile. May your heart be warmed. Try the microwave?

Cheradenine ,

Letting it rest both relaxes the gluten and helps the flour hydrate. This helps keep the dough from being gritty and makes it easier to form with less snapback (greater extensibility).

I’m too big to fit in a microwave and remvoing my heart from my body seems imprudent.

lemmefixdat4u , in [Question] How to make stretchy flour dough that won't tear

You could try substituting bread flour. It has more protein than all-purpose flour, therefore develops gluten faster with less working and resting. But I make hand-pulled noodles from all-purpose flour with 15 minutes of working. I can tell when the dough is ready by how it stretches when I twist it.

Don’t use cake flour. It’s a lower protein flour that is designed to not make much gluten.

SpaceNoodle , in [Question] How to make stretchy flour dough that won't tear

For pasta, I just mix a bulk restaurant flour (~10% gluten) 2:1 with egg, knead until incorporated and smooth, then tightly wrap and let rest for at least twenty minutes before rolling and cutting.

just_another_person , in [Question] How to make stretchy flour dough that won't tear

Developing the gluten in the dough takes time and effort. No real shortcuts to use here. If you’re specifically talking noodles only, you can try the work>rest>work method: work 3m, cover and rest a few mins, repeat twice, with a little extra work at the end. Some people swear by it, but I’ve noticed only a minor change, of any.

Also, make sure you use a well made and properly calibrated roller when making your sheets. Some of the cheaper ones that don’t have decent spacing calibration will work the dough too quickly between steps. Speaking of which, don’t skip steps when rolling out your dough.

Fondots , in [Question] How to make stretchy flour dough that won't tear

I’m nowhere near a good enough baker/pasta maker to comment on ratios and how to adjust your recipes, techniques and such, but you could possibly try adding a bit of vital wheat gluten to up the gluten even higher

At the end of the day though, I don’t think there’s really any getting around the process of kneading and resting and such other than using a stand mixer to do some of the hard work for you.

anytimesoon , in [Question] How to make stretchy flour dough that won't tear

You could try a stand mixer. I dont think there’s a way to develop gluten without kneeding

Cheradenine , in software experiences with Kenwood, Kitchenaid and other cooking machines

Tl;DR pay and maintain app and server, terrible privacy and security, onboard electronics compromise longevity.

They need to pay for the server too.

These things tend to be horrible from a privacy and security standpoint. Here is the Exodus Report. 5 different trackers, 20 permissions including location. One of the permissions is Bluetooth, so maybe it can be controlled stricly through that. The app itself may need to phone home though.

The motherboard will probably go bad before the motor does, the chances of it being NLA (no longer available) are high.

That’s when I buy it on Craigslist for $20, or a neighbor asks me to fix it. I can’t get parts so I take out the display and put a temperature controller in, a master on/off switch, one for the scale, and hope I can directly switch the speeds without putting a speed controller in too. Then all the individual functions are back but without process steps, or internet connectivity.

If you need to fix one of these outside of warranty, and cannot do it yourself it is probably cost prohibitive, that’s even if parts are available.

I would look at the warranty validity, and if there is a separate support/ update period for the app/server.

As they say the ‘S’ in IoT stands for security.

TheGiantKorean , in [Question] for the life of me i cant get my toum to emulsify
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

I make aquafaba mayo using a hand blender a lot. Drizzling the oil in using a squeeze bottle helps a lot. Also just moving the hand blender around and kind of bringing the oil into the mixture as you drizzle.

1/8 tsp xanthan gum may also help to stabilize things if all else fails.

witty_username , in [Question] for the life of me i cant get my toum to emulsify

Are all your ingredients at the same temperature? I find this greatly improves the chances of an emulsion taking hold. Easiest is to go for room temperature by placing your ingredients together on the kitchen counter and leaving them there for an hour or so

I’ll do that next time, the lemon juice was cold iirc

witty_username ,

Cool let me know if it works

evasive_chimpanzee , in [Question] for the life of me i cant get my toum to emulsify

I use this recipe, and it works great. I think the key is switching back and forth between the lemon juice and oil.

eaterofclowns , in [Question] for the life of me i cant get my toum to emulsify

The only thing I can think of is that the jar he uses is very close to the diameter of the immersion blender, which restricts the oil incorporation into the emulsion. If you’re using a wider jar it might be allowing too much oil to flow in at once and breaking the emulsion?

Can I make this at home without my own Dutch oven?

You can! I used a deep fry pan. :)

GombeenSysadmin ,

You have to make it in a Dutch Oven, otherwise it’s just sparkling watery mustard…
