Chapati
- 2 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ghee, melted
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Add the ghee and mix well.
- Add the water and mix to form a firm dough.
- Knead for 10 minutes, form into a ball and wrap with plastic.
- Let rest 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into 12 balls of equal size.
- On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll the balls into thin circles about 6 inches in diameter.
- Let rest 10 minutes.
- Heat a dry griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and cook the chapatis, 1 at a time, until browned and puffed, about 1 minute per side, pressing lightly around the edges with a spatula, which helps air bubbles form.
- Lower the heat if the bread begins to scorch.
- Serve warm with butter.
