- Place one ball of dough in the middle of the plastic bag and place in the middle of the open tortilla press, if using.-
Fold the bag in half over the dough. Close the tortilla press and push the handle to compress
the dough as much as possible.
-Open the tortilla press and check that the tortilla is nice and thin. Compress again if necessary. Very carefully peel back the plastic from the top of the dough, making sure the dough does not tear, then *loosely replace it*. Finally, flip it over and gently peel back the plastic.
Hi! Could you please help me understand that "loosely replace it"? It's not clear to me. After peeling back the plastic you should place it again on the tortilla without pressing? Maybe I'm just stuck and it's simpler than I think, but since the concept is not perfectly clear to me I cannot find a proper translation. Thank you very much for your help!
Best regards, Laura

: Though I'd replace "smooth over" with "smooth down", to make it clear this is about not applying pressure..

not tightly
"Roll up dough loosely around rolling pin and unroll it over pan. Gently ease dough into pan."

I think that "loosely" is used in the following sense found in Cambridge Dictionary:
loosely adverb (NOT TIGHTLY)
not tightly:
The jacket hung loosely on his thin body.

: "Tightly" couldn't be used to apply to how cling film was laid on top of the dough.// Yes, it would go with "wrap".

"Laid" probably not, but why would "tightly" not go with "wrap"?

: as BDF says "tightly" is wrong. Also don't know what your 1st link has to do with this?
