Whole Wheat Flatbread - Chapati

Title: Whole Wheat Flatbread - Chapati

Categories: Home Cookin,

Yield: 14

2 1/4 cup Durum flour

1/2 ts Sea salt

1 tb Canola oil

2/3 c -Very warm water

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.)

Cover and place in a warm oven while cooking remaining

chapatis.
