Chapatis
Similar to a whole wheat tortilla, these are a classic Indian flat bread. The trick for tender breads is to mix the dough early and let it rest several hours. Get a friend or family member to help roll and cook them on the griddle.
2 1/4 cups sifted whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup warm water
Stir all ingredients together to make a kneadable dough. Knead 8 minutes. Again, a food processor (for 1 minute) or mixer makes this easier. The dough should form a smooth ball of dough. Set aside covered in a bowl for 3 hours.
Divide dough into 12 balls. Roll each into a thin 6 circle. A tapered wooden rolling pin works well for this.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and as the chapatis are rolled out, cook them a minute on each side, until lightly flecked with brown spots.
Yogurt Variation:
Substitute 1/3 cup of yogurt for 1/3 cup of the water. Proceed as above.
