Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour Durum
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup lukewarm water
  • 2 teaspoons butter or ghee
  • 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour for rolling

Instructions
 

  • Directions:
  • In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and water. Add more water if the dough is too hard. Knead the dough well to make a medium soft dough. The dough should be soft but not stick to your hand. Set the dough aside and cover with a damp cloth. Let the dough rest for at least ten minutes or more before you start rolling.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Make smooth ball and press flat. Take 1 ball; press it in dry flour from both sides and start rolling to a 6-inch diameter circle. If the dough starts sticking, dust it with more flour.
  • Heat the skillet on medium high heat. Note: An iron skillet works best. To see if the skillet is ready, put a couple of drops of water on it. If the water sizzles right away, the skillet is ready.
  • Put the rolled roti on the skillet. You will see the roti puff in different places and change color. Turn the roti over. Flip again after a few seconds. Take a flat spatula and press lightly on the puffed parts of the roti. This will help the roti completely puff. Flip the roti again. The roti should have light golden-brown spots on both sides. Butter the heated side of the roti (the side that is facing the skillet).
  • Make sure to put the Rotis in a container with a paper towel covering the bottom. Make sure to cover the container after each roti is made. This will keep the steam in and ensure the Rotis are soft.
