Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 scoop Plant-based protein powder (unflavored)
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for softer chapatis)
• 0.25 cup Extra whole wheat flour (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, plant-based protein powder, chickpea flour, ground flaxseed, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

If using, add olive oil and mix it into the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, while mixing the dough with your hand or a spoon. Knead until the dough is smooth, soft, and pliable, but not sticky. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together. If it's too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra flour.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the gluten to develop.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.

Step 6

Dust your rolling surface and rolling pin with a small amount of whole wheat flour. Flatten a dough ball and roll it out into a thin, round circle (approximately 6-7 inches in diameter). Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 7

Heat a tawa, flat skillet, or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out chapati onto the pan.

Step 8

Cook the chapati for 30-45 seconds, or until bubbles start to form. Flip it over and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds, pressing gently with a spatula or a clean kitchen towel to encourage puffing.

Step 9

Flip it one last time and cook for an additional 10-20 seconds until golden spots appear. Remove the chapati from the pan and place it in a clean towel-lined basket or plate to keep warm.

Step 10

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining rolled-out chapatis.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite curry, dal, or vegetables for a delicious, protein-packed meal.
