Nick , in Is this basic flour tortilla recipe correct?

I’ve had success with this recipe, which is in grams. I just made a baker’s % out of it and mostly use that now for flour tortillas since the recipe made more than I wanted.

Reduce the amount of water from 200g227g (6675%) to 180ml (60%). The dough should be less messy = faster to work with.

Working too fast on anything with gluten is counter-productive, as it starts fighting back. Instead it’s better to work small steps on each chunk of dough, like this:

  • form all chunks of dough into balls
  • turn all balls into UFOs (discs with thick cores and thinner borders), by hand
  • turn all UFOs into properly shaped discs, using the rolling pin

This way, as you’re working with a chunk of dough, the other chunks have some time to rest.

Table space is usually a concern when you’re making tortillas, and that makes the process slower. If possible recruit the help of someone else to fry the tortillas for you, as you’re rolling them.

Bongo_Stryker , in What's your laziest/most efficient way to make a batch flour tortillas?

Ivxferre has good advice. My go-to is 3 cups flour, 1/4 c lard/butter and 1 C warm water gets me 12 tortillas depending on size, I get about 7-8 inch. I prefer em pretty light and thin, I don’t like the Cozumel thick kind. 4 cups flour/ 1 1/3 cup water, etc. to make 16. I can’t say what the measurements are by weight, but I don’t spoon my flour into cup measure, I scoop and level.

I usually make the dough and let it rest while I take a break and do something else so it’s not such a laborious process. If you can get a partner to work the pan while you roll it can go very fast. The more times you do it the faster you will get, it’s always slow the first time to try a new thing.

the trick to tortillas is take a basic flatbread recipe (cup of flour, pinch of salt, half cup of water) and let the dough rest in the fridge for about 15 minutes

counselwolf OP ,

why the 15 minute fridge rest? What does that do?

Jarme ,

It’s the autolyse method, see this : kingarthurbaking.com/…/using-the-autolyse-method

counselwolf OP ,

do I just knead afterwards?

Cheradenine , in What's your laziest/most efficient way to make a batch flour tortillas?

My recipe is basically the same as this one from Rick Bayless.

12ounces /385 grams (2 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour, plus a little extra for rolling the tortillas

5tablespoons fresh-rendered lard (look for it at a butcher shop or Mexican market) or vegetable shortening

3/4teaspoon salt

About 3/4cup very warm tap water

Note that this is a low hydration recipe, the way tortillas should be, at 46%

Also there is no baking powder. I can’t think of any reason to add it.

just_another_person , in [Question] I'm trying to build my own recipe for a challenge, can anyone offer a critique or some advice?

I would toss with some kind of vinaigrette to get the acidity instead of just throwing more ingredients in. You don’t say if this is hot or cold, but it reads more like a pasta salad.

Lemmeenym OP ,

I am planning on it being hot. I was going for something like a vegetarian stroganoff.

Brokkr ,

If you want a stroganoff, go for a mushroom version then, which means get rid of the olives and tomatoes. Add a little Dijon for acid and flavor.

You keep saying vegetarian, but the context implies vegan. What is your goal? If only vegetarian, then add some cream or butter. Adding cheese changes it from traditional stroganoff to generic American casserole, which can be delicious.

Right now I’d say your recipe is half way between a mushroom casserole and a chili. Those don’t sound like good combination. Pick one and commit in that direction. Also, using canned and frozen veggies in an instant pot is going to result in some very mushy food without their distinct flavors. You might want to opt for the fresh versions of some things, namely onions and mushrooms.

Lemmeenym OP ,

I wound up taking out the olives and tomatoes and adding 450g of sour cream and 60g of Dijon mustard and increasing the salt and pepper . It was much more casserole than stroganoff so I called it a crustless pot pie. We did 2 tastings, one fresh and one reheated after being frozen for a month. My recipe was popular, it won for the most stable between fresh and reheated. Thanks for the advice.

Not impressed it will be stuck in my head all day though

DoctorSpocktopus , in [RECIPE] Palak paneer and samosa

Yum! I’m making a real bastard Indian-American fusion “Butter Paneer Pizza” tomorrow. Got the paneer marinating in the fridge (first time marinating paneer!) and the preferment for the dough is bubbling away on my nightstand (rest of the house is too cold for it to get properly frothed).

captnanonymous OP ,

Butter paneer pizza sounds interesting. I’m with it.

ObamaBinLaden ,

Marinating paneer doesn’t really do a whole lot for it though

DoctorSpocktopus ,

Good to know - I’m seeing a few recipes recommending it to enliven the store bought stuff, so I’ll see if it makes a difference

Saucy indian curries make amazing pizza. I used to live by Toronto and I miss the Indian pizza places.

DoctorSpocktopus ,

We have a great little spot in Ottawa called Balista that does some great ‘za

residentmarchant , in [RECIPE] Palak paneer and samosa

I love samosas, but damn are they annoying to make at home! I’ll take a restaurant making 200 of them any day, no matter how it tastes (which is generally great)

captnanonymous OP ,

Yep. I don’t see this going into regular rotation, but it was fun to make the attempt.

Palak paneer is the best way to get my children to eat vegetables. Looks tasty!

captnanonymous OP ,

Nice, everyone wins.

Pacmanlives , in [RECIPE] Palak paneer and samosa

Plating looks like dinosaur foot prints

Venator ,

I thought it looks like cat vomit…

captnanonymous OP ,

Fair enough. Palak paneer is not what I’d call “show food”. Although if you pass on every food that looks like vomit, you’re going to miss out on some stuff.

Venator ,

I didn’t say I’d pass on it 😂

captnanonymous OP ,

Not intentional, but I see it.

Cheradenine , in [RECIPE] Butter Panneer Pizza

I was first introduced to Indian Pizza when visiting friends at this place vice.com/…/meet-the-godfather-of-indian-pizza

It was awesome. I still make it.

victorz , (edited ) in [RECIPE] Butter Panneer Pizza

I haven’t tried this, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s not easy on the eyes. Would love to be proven wrong though, but it’s not gonna be me who proves it 😅 Somebody’s gotta give me a sample.

lol how reddit, down votes for having an opinion 👍

DoctorSpocktopus OP ,

If you like Indian food, and you like pizza, this is just the format of pizza with the flavours of Indian food so you’ll certainly enjoy it.

As to the aesthetic appeal, “there’s no accounting for taste!“

victorz ,

Sure! If it doesn’t appeal to the eyes I’m probably not going to try though. 🫢 Are those peas, for example?

baatliwala , in [RECIPE] Palak paneer and samosa

Err… Honestly this looks like paneer with some palak rather than palak paneer. The dish normally looks green as heck.

That said I love paneer so I’ll eat any variation of it.

captnanonymous OP ,

Yeah, we ran short on spinach and the color was off as a result. I probably added too much turmeric as well.

Hey, it’s the bastard Indian-American fusion pizza! You made it! I’d 10000% take a slice if I could. Looks delicious.

DoctorSpocktopus OP ,

Hey, just make your own! And let me know how it goes
