Wax paper is good too. With the uneveness we hand flip to even out the dough.

I tried parchment paper, a step up from wax paper, for me it was a massive waste of time, corn 'dough' stuck and came apart in shards and chunks. Cut up zip lock bags (lots of vids on that method), work incredibly well. What this guy has done is a great Idea as well, I will have to give it a try.

there is a gal on a video whose husband added a metal plate below her cast iron press with bailing wire and added a long heat free handle to lift upper plate once pressed. She then placed press on her gas burner on low heat flame and puts tortilla dough ball inside as you normally would. , presses and lifts tortilla out with spachula and continues to cook on a comal or grill. It works! The heat helps spread out the dough. She got a beautiful 8 plus inch FLOUR tortilla but it looks more like a 10 inch. I am in the process of creating the same with my 10 inch cast iron press. I have been making flour and corn tortillas since I was 11. Yes, latin family, oldest daughter. This works. When you are making flour tortillas you want a nice thin roll out. Thanks for the video.
