Easy Chapatis (Flatbread)

Easy Chapatis (Flatbread)


1. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a dough blade, process flour, salt and water until the mixture forms a ball.

2. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes.

3. Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.

4. Let dough rest for 30 to 90 minutes.

5. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

6. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces.

7. Roll each piece into a 7-inch (18-cm) circle.

8. Spray a cast-iron griddle or skillet once with cooking spray and set over medium-low heat.

9. Cook a chapati for 1 minute.

10. Turn over and cook 5 minutes on second side or until chapati bubbles up.

11. Flip back to first side and cook for 5 minutes.

12. Then place the cooked chapati over the open flame (or on the coils) of a separate burner for a few seconds to brown, as you would a tortilla.

13. Keep cooked chapatis warm in the oven while you cook the remaining dough.

14. If you prefer a crispy, cracker-like texture, increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

15. Bake cooked chapatis, on a pizza stone if possible, until crispy, about 10 minutes.
