Hmmm - the idea regarding to keeping the moisture in is interesting. I've been making pizza dough and other things using whole wheat flour - and during the first few tries I did get a great tasting dough, but lately they've been firm and dry - and I couldn't figure out why the dough I made a long time ago tasted so much better. I suspect it's because I kept more moisture in. Recently I've gotten much better at working with whole wheat flour, but only because I kept it dry throughout the process- so it didn't stick to fingers, but if moisture is the key, it would explain why while working with the dough has been so much easier as of late, but the taste was so much more inferior to what I made during my first two tries. Anyways, great video - cheers.

I've tried these and your tortillas made with non-whole wheat (white) wheat flour a total of four times, and I can't get them to puff up; therefore, they're not as soft and flexible as they should be. I don't know what the problem is. I have to use a hot plate or an electric skillet, so adjusting the temperature to medium high has been a challenge. The dough always comes out perfect--no problems there. Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

Hi. Me again. Just popped over from your other vid. This one is great and gives me some things to ponder. I think you are right in that I used too much flour. (Probably too much heat as well) Also I suspect a mixer was too lazy when I was making a reduced portion. One last question: When you wrap the finished tortillas in Paper and foil, is this just to keep in heat or to force moisture back in to the tortillas and improve flexability? Cheers.

I watched this video last night and since I had a bag of KAF white wheat flour sitting in the back of my pantry (for ages) I decided to make these this morning. I used light tasting EVOO and wow, these tortillas came out amazing! They even puffed up while cooking (my suegra must love me, lol) and were soft and supple! Thank you for a wonderful recipe, now I have an excuse to use up the rest of that bag!

Just tried making these: ) I used canola oil instead (1/3 cup, and the dough came out VERY wet and sticky: S But I still managed to get it into a ball (I cheated and used just a tiny bit of extra flour. I also added a bit of garlic powder to the flour mix. I've made flour tortillas before, but this dough was SUPER soft and the tortillas turned out really good: ) Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this recipe! May be brave enough to give it a shot. :/ have you used an electric stove with the comal/ sarten before? Do you think it could effect the cooking time of tortilla any? Suppose just keep closer eye? So much easier to get correct heat setting with gas stove. Thank you for this brilliant alternative to store bought. Can't wait to see chorizo video. :)

Thank you so much for this recipe, growing up Mexican it's hard to get away from white flour tortillas. So when my doctor told me I could no longer have white flour, my world was crushed. So I went to the store to buy whole wheat tortillas and They have no flaver, they were cardboard texture too. So after seeing this recipe I tried it and I'm in love with it. Thanks again.

Keep in mind if you are prone to high cholesterol or high triglycerides do NOT use coconut oil or ghee for anything. Personal experience. ;) The so called healthy oils made my triglycerides shoot up to over 300! I switched back to avocado and grape seed oils and now my cholesterol and triglycerides are back to normal range. Scary!

Greetings from Mexicali, where there's a corn tortilla shop on every other corner. But no whole wheat ones can be found. We are going to try your recipe with manteca or real butter with low salt. Anything in a bottle or can with preservatives? I don't think so. Thanks for your great video.
