Method

  • step 1

    In a large bowl, stir together the flours and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the olive oil and enough water to make a soft dough that is elastic but not sticky.

  • step 2

    Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-10 mins until it is smooth. Divide into 10 pieces, or less if you want bigger breads. Roll each piece into a ball. Let rest for a few mins.

  • step 3

    Heat a frying pan over medium heat until hot, and grease lightly. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out the balls of dough until very thin like a tortilla.

  • step 4

    When the pan starts smoking, put a chapati on it. Cook until the underside has brown spots, about 30 seconds, then flip and cook on the other side. Put on a plate and keep warm while you cook the rest of the chapatis.

question

Could I use a mixer with dough hook instead of kneading it for 10 minutes?

Hello, thanks for your question - you certainly can. Knead with a reduced time for 5-7 mins with a dough hook. Thanks - Good food team.

Really nice these, even better if you add a bit of turmeric into the mix :)

Chapattis need cooking about 2mins otherwise it would be too soft for me

These are roti...chapati is finished with a brush of fat, such as butter/ghee or oil...

If I order chapati in the local Manc restaurants I get a circular bread.if I order roti, it is teardrop shaped after being baked on the sides of a tandoor oven

question

if you do need to use all the chapatti mix, can it be stored - in chiller or freezer until you want it?? - if so how long?? - or must you use it all at once??? thanks

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes the dough can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days either in an airtight container or well wrapped in cling film. It can also be frozen for 2-3 months (defrost in the fridge before using). We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.
