• Dough may dry out quickly, so it is important to keep it covered with a moist towel. Keeping your dough extra moist yet slightly firm will result in lighter and smoother flat bread. You may also add small amounts of water to the dough to keep it moist before cooking. DO NOT USE FIRM DOUGH ON THIS MACHINE. DO NOT PRESS DOWN HARD ON THIS MACHINE AS THIS WILL CAUSE IT TO BREAK.

• Give the mixed dough at least 30 minutes of resting time before shaping it into balls. Keep dough covered while it rests.

• To keep cooked flatbread moist and warm, wrap in a slightly damp cotton towel. You can also use a tortilla holder.

Tortillas/Flatbread can be reheated using your appliance by allowing them to come to room temperature first and cooking on the Bottom Cooking plate only.

• You can also place Tortillas/ Flatbread in your microwave for 30 seconds and serve!

Flour Tortillas

Ingredients 2 Cups All Purpose Flour ½ Teaspoon Salt ¼ Cup Vegetable Oil 2/3 Cup Warm Water Directions In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add the water and mix thoroughly. Divide the dough into about 12 equal parts and form in small balls. Cover with plastic wrap and insert them individually into your Brentwood Tortilla Maker. Press for about 20 seconds and make sure the dough is stretched out. Cook as directed in the instruction Manual.7

Ingredients 2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour Salt (to taste) 1 Cup Water (as needed) 1-2 Tablespoons Sesame or Vegetable Oil (to brush dough) Directions In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add the water and mix thoroughly. Make dough into a smooth soft ball. Let it sit covered for about 10-15 minutes. Divide the dough in small balls. Cook as indicated in our instruction manual. Homemade Pita Bread

Ingredients 1 Tablespoon Dry Active Yeast 1 Teaspoon Sugar 1 Cup Water 6 oz. Whole Wheat Flour 6 oz. Bread Flour 1 Teaspoon Salt 2 tablespoons olive oil Extra Flour for Work Surface Directions Add the yeast and sugar to warm water, stirring gently. Allow to rest for 5 minutes or until foamy. Next, use a wooden spoon to stir in the bread flour. Then, stir in the rest of the ingredients and knead to combine. The dough should come together into a ball, picking up the fragments left in the bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm corner of your kitchen. Allow to rinse for at least one hour or until about doubled in size (in cooler rooms, this might take a little longer). Dive the dough into 8 equal-shaped pieces and sprinkle flour over your work surface to prevent sticking. Insert in to your Brentwood tortilla maker and press to flat dough about 1/8” thick. Cook each pita for 3-5 minutes, waiting 1-2 minutes between each one.8
