Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of whole wheat flour.

Step 2

If using olive oil for extra softness, add 2 teaspoons to the flour and mix well.

Step 3

Gradually pour in 3/4 cup of warm water while mixing the dough with your hand or a spoon.

Step 4

Knead the mixture for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and pliable. If the dough feels dry, you may add 1-2 teaspoons of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 5

Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. Resting helps make the chapati softer.

Step 6

After resting, divide the dough into 8 small, equal-sized balls.

Step 7

Dust a clean surface with a little whole wheat flour to prevent sticking. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a thin, round flatbread approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Preheat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Place a rolled-out chapati on the hot skillet and cook for about 30-40 seconds, or until bubbles form on the surface.

Step 10

Flip the chapati and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Press gently with a spatula to encourage puffing.

Step 11

Flip one more time and cook for another 10-15 seconds, or until golden brown spots appear.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 13

Serve the chapatis warm with your favorite low sodium curry, vegetables, or lentils.
