Making Doritos At Home | But Better

We've outpaced the hut-dominated fast food giants of the world on pizza, and now I think it's time we venture a little into the coveted world of sandwiches, too. Welcome back to episode 17, but

better

. I'm doing this. for a while eh, for the record we are going to continue

making

fast food, don't worry, that's not going away, that's the basis of the series, but I also want to start

making

sandwiches because a lot of people have been asking for it a lot. but igdms blah blah blah etc. you keep asking me. I don't really make powdered cheese that often, but I do make cheese foams, but you know we'll try our best and see how close we can get. reach a dorito and can we improve it?

So with all that said let's do this, aren't we going to go to 7-eleven because I feel like 7-eleven won't like a camera there or what's the place where people just don't care Walmart look at this, these They're new poppables, I mean, I like the concept, but why is it okay, okay, Doritos, should we buy the party size Doritos? The party's over, what's the difference between these? But there is more air. Here it is. air here is the air this is the same amount of chips that you are already down right now for the first time we actually have the bag the sound of this triggers my memory when I was in class and I would like to try to open a bag of chips without the teacher I heard them and it's like

doritos

uh they've changed names so often this is like this new brand is so aggressive why

doritos

why do they need to be so aggressive it's nacho cheese chips okay?

I don't need lasers to crush and cut your letters only for epic players only for epic players this is for you you got the classic doritos smell right I wish more of these were triangular most of them are actually like half pieces I mean they are doritos like they're kinda good they're kinda good the only thing I have to say about doritos is they taste like nacho cheese no this doesn't taste like cheese at all I don't even know how to describe it This tastes like doritos and it tastes good so what would happen If we made a nacho cheese flavored chip?

First things first, let's make our powder flavor, so I thought for a moment exactly how am I going to make this, so I looked around on Amazon. Cheese powder is actually very easy to find, so I just bought some cheddar cheese powder and some white cheese powder. You know the links will be in the description so for this method in a bowl you will combine one cup or 112 grams of cheddar cheese powder a quarter cup of 30 grams of white cheddar cheese powder a quarter cup or 35 grams of whey powdered milk (optional) two and a half tablespoons or 15 grams of nutritional yeast yes, okay, it sounds gross, but it's kind of tasty, so two teaspoons or seven grams of msg yes, you heard that right, if the doritos are going to do , I do it too, okay, one tablespoon or seven grams of onion powder, two teaspoons or six grams of smoked paprika and finally one tablespoon or 14 grams of fine sea salt. that's some whiskey until it's well combined and that's the powdered cheese flavoring so it turned out a little more neon than I expected okay so let's talk about making chips of course you can mix in the flour of dough, ideally it would be

better

if you had nyx. tamale and all that and grind your own corn, but let's be humble for a second, okay, we're making powdered cheese chips, if you want it quick, just buy some corn tortillas, place the whole tortillas spaced evenly on a tray to Bake and put them in the oven. on the lowest setting possible for 10 minutes to dry them out and then cut them into quarters and now they are ready to fry, then all you have to do is get a large heavy bottomed pot and fill it with at least two inches of oil.

Make sure it doesn't exceed half the pot, otherwise there is a danger of fire and that's bad. Now just take that pot of oil and put it on a stove over medium heat. Okay, I'll stop. that now and heat it until it reaches about 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius for my metric friends, then in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot, fry the fries for about two or three minutes, dipping them and turning them from time to time from time to time so that they fry evenly and as soon as those fries stop frying and bubbling and are just floating there, you will take them out of the oil, place them on a rack set over a baking sheet and then sprinkle them immediately. with your cheese powder, now notice I'm not dusting here, it actually works a lot better if you use a fine mesh strainer and just hit it like that, we want that really even coating and then give those chips a whirl. and sprinkle them once more with your cheese mixture.

I know you might be thinking, Oh well, Joshua, can I throw it in a bowl? Yes, it's a practical idea, but it doesn't actually work very well and if for some reason the cheese powder isn't sticking to the other side, just get a spray bottle, fill it with some vegetable oil and spray them lightly before sprinkle them on and it should definitely stick that way, then just rinse and repeat with the rest of the chips and that right there. Well, it actually looks a little different than a dorito, but that's okay, maybe let's go back to the drawing board and try making our own cheese powder, get whatever cheese you want and you'll cut it as thin as physically possible.

Do it with a knife that's super flat like this, but here I have a little bit of parmigiano-reggiano, obviously, a little bit of cheddar cheese, a little bit of pecorino Romano and finally a little bit of gouda, okay, the Dutch are already screaming, That's how fast it is. I know I'm trying, so place them on some evenly spaced dehydrator sheets, assuming you have a dehydrator, place them in your dehydrator that has been set at 125 degrees Fahrenheit or 52 degrees Celsius and let them dehydrate for about 24 to 48 hours or until they are completely dry, crunchy and breakable, so take them out.

By the way, you'll have to rub them generously because they release so much cheese oil. I wasn't crazy about that, but do what you have to do and then just blend them separately, okay, don't blend them all at once, blend them separately in a high speed blender as high as possible until you get a nice rinse in powder and repeat with each cheese, then grab a bowl, now this is a bite so get ready, three tablespoons is 20 grams of nutritional yeast which I'm actually putting through a fine mesh strainer to make it a little finer than the last time, followed by half a cup or 60 grams of gouda powder, a quarter cup or 30 grams. of pecorino Romano powder half a cup or 60 grams of parmigiano-reggiano powder half a cup or 60 grams of cheddar cheese powder sorry, this is funny one tablespoon or 14 grams of fine sea salt, obviously, that's two teaspoons of msg very important let me tell you brother two teaspoons or seven grams of ground white pepper one tablespoon or ten grams of onion powder and one tablespoon or twelve grams of smoked paprika give it a little whiskey and that is our secondary seasoning it is exactly the same procedure frying your chips season them generously with your cheese powder and now we have two different chips we have the store bought cheese powder we have the dehydrated cheese powder and then we have the dorito now let's see which version of ours tastes most similar and if we want, we all They look relatively similar, but you can definitely tell visually which of the doritos is pre-made powdered cheese first with these slaps, but it doesn't taste exactly like doritos, I don't know if that's necessarily Bad, now this is made with real cheese, oddly enough ,

made cheese powder actually matches the flavor of Doritos much more and I think that has to do with the intensified umami qualities of the cheeses. msg elves god, this is hard, you know?

I need I need thick once for the show well yeah number three what do you think the doritos are? Yeah, it's so obvious, it's pretty iconic now between the first two, which one do you think was closer, so the second one was. It was cheesier, I would say cheese wise the second one is closer. I agree that neither of them really taste like Doritos, although that's the funny thing. None of them are really bad. It's supposed to taste like nacho cheese, but to me this tastes more. nacho cheese flavor, I agree, so who is really the winner?

Burritos win by being Doritos. Nacho cheese is nacho cheese, it is not nacho cheese. That's the verdict. That said, you can also enjoy a beautiful nacho cheese chip, okay dad, I love you, bye, okay, okay. maybe not a precise winner here, but do you want to know what else is as good as cheese powder? Okay guys and that's it, so we made kind of a burrito, but more like we made a nacho cheese chip that was really good, this is weird, you know, we're starting our first better snack and it's not, I don't know if I would say it's better, it's so different and no, I'm not taking this as an L. because it's extremely different, okay, people will probably be in the comments like, oh, you know, you get a creepy revenge cream on doritos, well, I'll do it, but if you want an amazing

home

made nacho cheese chip that's made entirely of scratch this is the way to go buddy okay you want to make this one i think we won the game of making a nacho cheese chip but making a dorito i just don't know what your secret dorito spice is but we got quite. close, so whether you make these doritos or not, I hope you enjoyed the journey and I hope it makes you think about how anything is possible with just a little time, effort, and love.

I think I had a little more time to develop this. I've had a spot on one, so there may be a little rematch in the future, but for now, if you enjoyed this video or learned something, leave a like, subscribe and I'll see you next time.
