Notes
Masa, or fresh dough, is sold at Latin American markets and, if you're lucky enough to have access to one, tortilla factories. Ask for coarse-ground masa, made specifically for tamales. Or buy masa harina (powdered dried masa), available at Latin American stores and many supermarkets, and mix it with water.
