Quick Chapatis
From Sorgawiki
Ingredients
- 1 cup chapati flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup lukewarm water
Method
- Heat iron skillet or no-stick skillet on medium flame.
- Sift flour and salt into bowl. (If no sifter, fluff with fork.).
- With a wooden spoon, and 1/4 C water, continue to slowly add water until enough water to form a ball.
- Turn onto floured surface. Knead for until dough is elastic, and looks smooth like a babies bum. Use only enough flour to keep dough from sticking.
- Divide dough into 4 golf-ball sized balls.
- Roll each in flour.
- With a rolling pin, roll out one ball into about an 8" thin circle. Keep a pile of flour beside you and dust the dough often but only enough to keep it from sticking.
- When skillet is hot enough to immediately sizzle dry a drop of water, put chapati on.
- Leave for 10-15 seconds, turn wait 10-15 seconds, turn again and apply pressure using a balled tea towel. Turn cook on both sides.
- In a few seconds, it will puff up like a balloon. If it doesn't, the dough was not kneaded/rested long enough or there was too much flour worked inches.
- Remove from heat to plate. (Some people slap the air out first.). Brush with oil, if desired, to keep soft. Cover with towel to keep warm.
