can you use this for flour tortillas

No, you generally cannot use any tortilla press for flour tortillas. They are too elastic to be pressed, and must be rolled out with something like a pin. Tortilla presses should only be used for corn tortillas, which can be made easily using Masa Harina (cornmeal with slaked lime), which is available in the ethnic/latino sections of most grocery stores.

I would think you could use it for anything tortilla related. It would certainly flatten the dough. I don't know how much the flour dough would spring back when press is opened.

I really do not know any reason why you could not.....my purpose for purchase was for filled flat cookies.....! but I found that a tip would be to cut a piece of silicone to line your press to prevent sticking....it really worked wonders for me!

I don't think so, because it is foam. I make tortillas and then this keeps them warm and soft.

Not sure-I use the whole grain ones with net carbs of 4 as I'm diabetic- they work wonderful. If the corn tortillas are pliable and of a similar texture. They should work fine. Just push them into the form & bake. They work wonderfully.

Yes, if you have the equipment to grind flour, likely you could. It's already very fine shreds and is dry, not sticky. But why don't you just order the "Let's do organic coconut flour"?

I use a recipe book "Gluten Free Baking Classics" by Annalise G. Roberts. She uses a flour mix for her recipes that uses potatoe starch. This is a great book for most any gluten free baking, including tortillas.

I am pretty sure it can flatten bread dough. I usually make my tortilla 50/50 corn and wheat flour. Fried bread dough with cheese sounds delicious.

Yes! Make sure to use baking spray with flour though or you could lose chunks.

These pans are meant for baking so you won't get a nice, puffy, crispy golden shell from these pans. I have baked the tortillas dry, brushed oil on them and have sprayed them with pretty much the same results each time. But we prefer the lower calorie/fat from baking them dry.If you are looking for the tortillas to be how restaurants serve taco salads in, you'll need to fry the tortillas and these pans aren't the proper equipment for that. There are metal wire molds available out there for frying tortillas. I'd probably check kitchen stores and restaurant supply companies for them and you'll need a deep fryer, tall pot or even a turkey fryer. And lots of oil.

I sprinkle flour on the rack, just a little. Enough for it to hold the tortillas but not to much that you taste it.

nope . will work only for grains....like rice and some whole grains. flour will clog and very hard to dispense. wouldn't store sugar in it - container not being airtight it might crystallise esp in tropical climate.

I've not used it for tortillas. I line it with a towel and use it to keep biscuits warm. It keeps them warm and is attractive on the table.

I have made tortillas with It and it tastes pretty good with a decent consistency. Not very good leftover though.

In my experience, yes, you can. The results should be as good or better because this is a very fine flour therefore you shouldn't have any grittiness in the product you are baking. I have noticed a big difference in using this flour as compared to other "cheaper" brown rice flours.

Don't see why not. I found it to be the best gluten free flour I tried.. I used it in a few baked cookie recipes and had no problems. Think it would be worth a try.. I really was impressed with the product. They have a website where you can get contact information and email them with your question just to be sure.

Cornbread batter or dough of any kind would not be a good idea. Even watching it carefully it will burn on the outside and be raw inside with no room for the bread/dough to expand. Tortillas would be fine as long as they are well buttered on the side against the iron. However not having tried them they may not seal up the stuffing like a slice of bread.

Sorry, couldn't figure out how to expound on my 'yes' answer. I have used it to make tortillas and flatbreads, so if you are going for a thin crust pizza it should work...not sure how thick you could make it though. Hope that helps!

Not really. Flour tortillas are very elastic and are best prepared by using a rolling pin to stretch the dough out before you cook them on a hot skillet. The press may used to initially flatten the dough but to get proper flour tortillas they must be rolled out with a rolling pin.
