Chapti Flat Bread Recipe

method

I'm using chapati flour for this recipe, but you could use a mixture of wholemeal and plain white flour if you can't get hold of it. Putting the mix together is no problem, but you do need to knead the dough for a while before you can shape it ready for cooking.

1. Put your flour in a large mixing bowl

2. Make a little well in the middle
3. Add water a little at a time

4. Bring the dough together with your fingers

5. Add the oil
6. Form a dough ball, which should be quite dry at this point

7. Knead the dough on a clean surface or board
8. The dough will become soft & elastic after about 7 mins

The dough should be soft and elastic but not sticky, dust with a little flour if necessary

9. Roll into a sausage shape & cut into two

10. Roll one of the balls out until as thin as a tortilla

11. Lightly grease a large flat pan
12. Put it onto a med-high heat
13. When it starts to smoke, add a chapati
14. Coat the other side with ghee or butter
15. Flip the chapati over when it starts to swell

16. You should have black spots on the cooked side

17. Coat the other side with ghee or butter

Simply delicious!
