Authentic Indian Chapati Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup hot water or as needed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients for the chapati recipe.
2. In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually add water and oil while mixing with a wooden spoon until a soft, elastic dough forms. Add more water as needed to achieve the right consistency.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and pliable.
4. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions for medium-sized chapatis (or fewer for larger ones). Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for a few minutes to relax the gluten.
5. Heat a lightly greased skillet or tava over medium heat. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each dough ball into a very thin circle.
6. Once the skillet is hot and starts to lightly smoke, carefully place a chapati onto it. Cook until brown spots appear on the bottom, approximately 30 seconds. Then, flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
7. Repeat the cooking process for the remaining chapatis, stacking them as you go to keep them warm and soft.
