I use a non-stick griddle currently as I can't afford a cast iron alternative at this time, but eventually when my current one has seen better days.

I have searched online only to find aluminum ones, the cast iron are smaller than 10 inches. What kind is yours? Also is your griddle non stick. I would like to find one that is not non stick. Thanks. :) Hi I was wondering where you can find a ten inch tortilla press? I have searched online only to find aluminum ones, the cast iron are smaller than 10 inches. What kind is yours?

I used hard white wheat and kefir as my acid medium. The only thing I did differently was to use all-purpose flour (maybe 2 T.) for kneading. I let them sit for 15-20 minutes because I had other things going on. I pressed them in my tortilla press and then transferred them to my griddle to finish. The texture and ability to stay together (instead of crumbling and getting hard) was great. I will definitely be making these again. I made these tonight and they were amazing.

When I first leaned the soaking method, all the recipes I found were from people who ground their own grain and I used Bob's Red Mill Hard Red Wheat. The mixture was very dense and impossible to stir. The end product was pretty dense and close to crumbly. One year later, I have the grain mill and find the opposite problem. When I use freshly ground grain for mainstream recipes, it is very moist and almost liquidy. I find that I have to add more flour. Trying this recipe with freshly ground grain, the texture is perfect. All that to say that perhaps if you use commercial grain, when following a recipe that was tested with freshly ground flour, add less flour. Would that be accurate Lindsay?
