Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
