People Can't Get Enough Tortillas!
Can we just appreciate tortillas for second?
They're delicious. They go with almost anything. The corn versions are naturally gluten-free. It's no wonder they are an ever-growing sector of the baking industry and a staple in many households.
In fact, the global tortilla market is projected to reach $48.51 billion at a CAGR of 5.10% by 2023.
As bakers, tortillas offer up a lot of options, from the kinds made to methods for production. Three kinds of tortillas are:
- Wheat Flour Tortillas: produced from refined or patent flours, they can be either yeast-leavened or chemically-leavened. These tortillas have a thickness of 2–3 mm and diameter of 15 to 33 cm. Most wheat tortillas are industrially manufactured by hot-press or die-cut processes.
- Fresh Masa Tortillas: made with a fresh masa or “whole corn dough” following the Nixtamalization process. Corn kernels are treated with a calcium hydroxide solution and ground to produce masa. The fresh masa is mixed with other ingredients and additives, and then sheeted between rollers and formed to desired dimensions.
- Dry Masa Flour Tortillas: made from commercially-available dry fresh masa and mixed with other ingredients in the bakery. This type of tortillas is preferred by food service facilities and retail bakeshops.
