Chapati

By , About.com Guide

Chapati is an unleavened flatbread made with whole wheat flour. It's toasted on a grill or griddle until golden brown spots form, then brushed with melted butter.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 3 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup warm water

Preparation:

In medium bowl, combine flours, salt, olive oil, and enough water to form a soft dough. Knead the dough ten times, then cover tightly and let stand for 1 hour.

When ready to cook, form 10 balls from the dough. Roll out the balls on a lightly floured surface into 6" circles.

Heat an ungreased griddle over medium high heat. Two at a time, lay the circles on the hot griddle. Cook until the dough starts to puff slightly, then turn and cook until light golden brown spots form. Remove chapati to a kitchen towel and brush with melted butter. Serves 8
