Knead Dough into 8 Balls

3
Roll Thin Between Parchment Paper
Place 1 dough ball between 2 sheets of parchment paper. **Use a rolling pin (or tortilla press) to roll into a 6-inch thin round tortilla**.

Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. **Peel tortilla from parchment and cook for 45 seconds per side** until air pockets puff. Stack cooked tortillas under a clean kitchen towel to keep soft!
Chef Amara’s Kitchen Secrets & Pro Tips
- Chef's Secret Warm Water Hack: Warm 110°F water hydrates cassava starches for elastic, unbreakable dough.
- Parchment Rolling Rule: Roll dough balls between parchment paper to get paper-thin tortillas without sticking.
- Towel Steam Trap: Stack hot tortillas under a clean kitchen towel immediately after cooking to lock in soft moisture.
1. Spoon and Level Your Flour: Never scoop flour directly from the canister with your measuring cup, which packs excess volume by up to 25%. Fluff the flour with a fork, spoon it into the cup, and level the top with a knife. 2. Season in Measured Layers: Introduce small pinches of salt at different cooking stages rather than dumping seasoning on at the end. This draws out moisture and seasons every ingredient to its core. 3. Chef's Kitchen Secret: Chef's Secret Warm Water Hack: Warm 110°F water hydrates cassava starches for elastic, unbreakable dough.

Troubleshooting & Quick Fixes
- What if My Flaky Gluten-Free Cassava Flour Tortillas Recipe (Grain-Free & AIP) Vegetables Turn Soggy Instead of Crisp?: Avoid crowding your skillet or roasting pan. Trapped steam makes veggies soggy. Spread them across the pan with space between pieces so moisture evaporates and edges caramelize.
- How to Deepen Savoriness Without Heavy Salt?: Add a splash of tamari, nutritional yeast, roasted garlic, or smoked paprika. These natural umami boosters satisfy the palate while keeping sodium in check.
