Homemade Roti Flatbread
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Place the flour in a large mixing bowl and add 3/4 Cup water slowly, stirring constantly with a wooden stick until the dough begins to come together and starts to form a ball.
  2. Knead the dough with your hands for a few minutes, adding a little flour if it is too sticky and little water if it’s too tough. If you prefer, you can turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it there instead of in the bowl. The dough should be soft and pliable and not sticky to the touch. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for hour.
  3. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide into 12-14 equal balls and roll each ball between your palms to make it round and smooth, removing any cracks.
  4. Flatten each round dough ball and dust both sides with dry flour and roll into circles. Keep dusting with the dry flour to keep the Roti from sticking to the rolling surface.
  5. Place a flat griddle or skillet on medium-high heat and let it get hot. If using the BBQ clean and spray the grill with a little oil to prevent sticking. Place the rolled Roti on the pan/grill and let cook for 15-30 seconds until small bubbles form on top side. Using tongs, flip the Roti. You don’t want the first side to cook too much.
  6. Cook the opposite side about 30-40 seconds more than the previous side. Use your tongs to turn over the Roti and see how much it has cooked and if there are golden brown spots all over, then it has cooked enough and turn it over so that the first side can cook until it too is golden brown. If evenly rolled the roti will puff up at this time. Cook until both sides are golden brown.
  7. Option to spread butter or ghee on one side of the Roti. Serve hot and enjoy!
