Whole Wheat Chapati

Recipe View In a mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour and salt. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Drizzle in the olive oil and gradually add the water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth, firm, and elastic. Add more water, a teaspoon at a time, if the dough is too dry. (7 minutes)

Recipe View Divide the dough into four equal portions and form each into a smooth ball. (2 minutes)

Recipe View On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a thin, circular chapati. Aim for a diameter of about 6-8 inches. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Heat a dry frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully place one chapati on the hot pan and cook for about 1 minute, or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface. Flip and cook for another minute, pressing gently around the edges to encourage even cooking and slight puffing. The chapati should be golden brown in spots. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the cooked chapati from the pan and repeat with the remaining dough balls. (10 minutes)

Recipe View If desired, lightly brush the cooked chapatis with olive oil before serving. Enjoy warm!
