Preparation Time:

30 min

Difficulty:

Expert

Ingredients:

  • 250g of whole wheat flour
  • 125ml of water
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 1 tbsp of oil (optional)

Kitchen Tools Needed:

  • Rolling pin
  • Flat skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cup

Instructions:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt, mixing well.
  • Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading until a soft dough forms. If desired, incorporate oil for added richness.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
  • Divide the dough into equal portions, approximately 2 pieces for 2 servings.
  • Dust a clean surface with flour and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
  • Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle, ensuring it’s even throughout.
  • Preheat the flat skillet over medium-high heat and place one rolled chapatti onto the skillet.
  • Cook for about 30 seconds, or until small bubbles form on the surface; flip it over and cook for another 30 seconds until golden spots appear.
  • Press down on the chapatti gently with a spatula to encourage puffing.
  • Remove the chapatti from the skillet and keep it warm in a cloth, repeating the process for the remaining dough.
