Mix the masa and water together until combined, adding more water if necessary.

Continue mixing until the dough absorbs the water and reaches a soft consistency.

If the dough feels dry after resting, add a little more water to adjust the texture.

Let the masa rest for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow it to absorb moisture.

The final consistency should be soft and slightly wet, making it easier to handle when forming pupusas.
