Hi Andrew! I've never baked them, so I can't help you, sorry. However, if you follow my recipe, you don't need to bake them 🙂

Hi, normally I think they are cooked 4 minutes per side in a little oil then baked 15 minutes in the oven. Your recipe is 7 minutes each side but no baking, how long do you bake them if no pan cooking at all and temperature?

precooked cornmeal vs masa harina --- per https://www.thespruceeats.com/

Quote:

Masarepa is corn dough that is dried and ground into fine cornmeal and can be found in Latin food specialty stores and online. It is softer and more refined and the taste is starchier than masa harina. Look for the words harina de maiz refinada precocida (refined, precooked corn flour) on the package. Masarepa is the flour of choice for making arepas.

Masa harina, on the other hand, is made from corn treated with lye in a process called nixtamalization in order to remove the germ and outer lining before it is ground. Masa harina is used for making tortillas, tamales, pupusas, and gorditas and translates as "dough flour."
