Chapati/Roti Indian Style Flatbread
Roti Indian style flatbread are a popular side dish to many main dishes and are easily prepared at home. Vegan and no proofing time required. When mixing the dough, add the water slowly. The texture should be sticky and smooth in appearance, but not so sticky that it's wet. When you roll the dough, coat the rolling pin with flour to prevent it from sticking to the dough.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ⅓ cup water (could use up to 1/2)
Instructions
- Mix together the salt and flour to a bowl. If the flour is lumpy, sift to remove any chunks.
- Add oil and mix into the flour.
- Slowly add the water, mixing as you go. Take care to not over water.
- Once a large dough ball is formed (it should be slightly sticky but not wet feeling), cut into four pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball. Then with a rolling pin, roll the balls into very thin pieces (at most 1/8" thick).
- Repeat for each piece of dough.
- On a non-stick pan, heat the dough until small bubbles start to form. Flip and repeat. It typically takes about 2-3 minutes a side.
- They should start to puff up some, if not lots of air pockets form. This is a sign it's done.
- Repeat for all the dough balls.
- Serve with your favorite meal (aloo gobi, dal, chana masala, etc.)
