  • Page 11: Pressing Dough

    PRESSING DOUGH PRESSING DOUGH Your dough press is designed for easy use and operation to reliably press dough balls. Thickness, shape, and size are directly related to your dough ball, its shape, the temperature of the dough, the recipe of your dough, type of lubricating food oil, as well as the settings of your machine.
  • Page 12 PRESSING DOUGH Lightly lubricate the lower platen with olive oil, food/cooking oil or other food release lubricant. NOTE: Due to the sticky nature of corn tortillas, pressing works best placing the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Place your preformed dough ball on the lower platen and add a small amount of your food lubricant to the top of the dough ball.
