Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup chickpea flour
• 0.25 cup whey protein isolate (unflavored)
• 0.75 cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons milk (optional for softer dough)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, whey protein isolate, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the olive oil and water. If using, you can also add the milk at this step for a softer dough.

Step 3

Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until they start to come together into a dough.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.

Step 5

Once kneaded, cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Step 7

Preheat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, roll each dough ball into a flat circle, about 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin. Keep the other dough balls covered while you work to prevent drying.

Step 8

Once the skillet is hot, place a rolled-out roti onto the dry skillet. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface, about 30 seconds.

Step 9

Flip the roti, and cook for another 30 seconds. Press down lightly with a spatula, if necessary, to help the roti puff up slightly.

Step 10

Flip again, and cook for an additional 10-15 seconds or until lightly browned with spots on the surface. Remove from heat and keep warm in a cloth-lined container.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Serve warm with your favorite accompaniment like curry or yogurt.
