Classic Whole Wheat Roti

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

2. 2

   Gradually add 1 cup of water to the flour mixture, mixing continuously to form a soft dough.

   Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

   Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes.

   Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, approximately the size of a golf ball.

6. 6

   On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, round disc, about 6-7 inches in diameter.

7. 7

   Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat.

8. 8

   Place the rolled-out roti on the hot skillet and cook for about 30 seconds or until small bubbles start to form on the surface.

9. 9

   Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 30 seconds.

    Press the edges of the roti gently with a spatula to help it puff up.
