Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cups Water
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional and very minimal)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt (if using). Mix well to distribute the salt evenly.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, a little at a time, while kneading the dough with your hands or using a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment.

Step 3

Once the dough starts coming together, add olive oil (if using) and knead until the dough is soft, smooth, and pliable. This should take about 8-10 minutes of kneading.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. This resting period helps the gluten develop for easier rolling.

Step 5

After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.

Step 6

On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into a thin, round disc about 6-7 inches in diameter. Dust with a little flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat until hot. Place the rolled-out chapathi on the skillet and cook for 30-40 seconds, or until bubbles start forming on the surface.

Step 8

Flip the chapathi and cook on the other side for about 30-40 seconds, applying gentle pressure with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Flip once more and cook for another 10-15 seconds if needed.

Step 9

Repeat this process for the remaining dough balls, stacking the cooked chapathis on a plate and covering them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite low-sodium curry, yogurt, or side dishes.
