Whole Wheat Flatbread (Chapati)

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Indian

 Ingredients List

  • 2 1/4 c Durum flour
  • 1/2 ts Sea salt
  • 1 tb Canola oil
  • 2/3 c -very warm water

 Directions

Combine flours and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Mix in oil and water to form a stiff dough, adding more water if necessary.
Remove dough from bowl and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth,
about 5 minutes.

Return dough to bowl, cover with a towel and set aside in a warm place for
one hour.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 14 equal
portions. Roll each piece into a ball and cover with a damp towel.

Heat an ungreased griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Working
with one ball of dough at a time, flatten it, then roll into a 6" circle,
using only enough flour to keep dough from sticking. When griddle is hot,
pick up dough, shake off excess flour and place it on a hot pan. Cook until
brown spots appear, about one minute. Flip dough over and cook on other
side. (Chapati may puff up while cooking.)

Cover and place in a warm oven while cooking remaining chapatis.
