🍽 Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup (approx.) Water

📖 Instructions

1. 1. In your large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt. Give it a good stir to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
2. 2. Gradually add about 1 cup of warm water while mixing with your hands. You'll want to create a soft, pliable dough. It should be soft enough to be workable, but not sticky.
3. 3. Once your dough is formed, knead it on a clean, lightly floured surface for at least 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If it's still too sticky, add a small amount of extra flour at a time.
4. 4. Once the dough is ready, make sure it is covered with a damp cloth, so it doesn't get dry. Let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This rest period will help develop the dough's gluten, creating a soft and fluffy roti after it's cooked. Remember to cover this so it doesn't dry out!
5. 5. Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. About 2-3 inches in diameter should be good for about 6-8 pieces.
6. 6. On your lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of dough at a time into a very thin, round circle using your rolling pin. The thinner it is, the better the texture and the cooking time will be shortened. Aim for a circle about 6-8 inches in diameter, like a big tortilla!
7. 7. Heat up your large skillet or griddle over medium heat. You'll know it's ready when a tiny drop of water sizzles on the surface.
8. 8. Carefully place the rolled-out roti onto the hot griddle. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until small bubbles start to appear and the roti is lightly browned. You'll have to really pay attention to this and make sure you're flipping once the bubbles form to make sure it doesn't burn.
9. 9. Use your spatula to gently flip the roti and cook the other side. It should take another 1-2 minutes to fully cook. You'll start to see some browning on this side as well; this is when you know it's done!
10. 10. Once cooked, remove the roti from the griddle. You can stack it on a plate or a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
11. 11. Repeat steps 6-10 for the rest of the dough balls until all your roti is made.
12. 12. Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, soft, and delicious roti!

📝 Notes

• Adjust water quantity as needed to achieve desired dough consistency. The dough should be soft and pliable, not sticky or dry.
• For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of ghee or oil to the dough.
• If you want to make it a little more flavorful, add some spices to it! I'm using some ginger and garlic powder, but you can add more!
• Don't be shy about experimenting with different flours; I’ve used whole wheat before—it's tasty!
