finished roll on plateThis is the staple flat bread of India. Half a billion Indian women make this every day. This is easy and delicious! I wanted to photograph all of it in a nice stack, but my kiddos ate it just as fast as it came off the stove! :)

This is great alone, would complement eggs in the morning, even soup at night. Very versatile. Who would think that such simple ingredients could be so good?

Total Time: About 1 hour start to finish

Yield: 14 roti breads

Source: Modified from a recipe in a Funion Family cookbook

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour, more for sprinkling
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt, plus additional at the end
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup or less of water
  • butter
ingredients
 

Steps:

  1. Add your flour, salt and oil to a bowl.
  2. flour & oil
     
  3. Gradually add your water. I only needed just over 3/4 of a cup. Too much, too sticky. Too little, too crumbly. Gradual is best.
  4. adding water to flour
