Volume 4, Number 10 - August 2, 2002
Chapati (Whole Wheat Flatbread)

 


Ingredients:
2 1/4  cups Durum flour
1/2     teaspoon Sea salt
1        tablespoon Canola oil
2/3     cup -Very warm water

Instructions:                                              
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.)
