Method
Dough Preparation
- 1
Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and mix until a dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add a little oil or ghee while kneading to keep it moist.
- 3
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps in gluten development.
Layering and Cooking
- 4
Divide the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball).
- 5
Roll Out the Dough
Take one ball of dough and flatten it with your fingers. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
- 6
Layer with Oil
Spread about 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee evenly on the rolled-out dough. Fold it into a semi-circle, and then fold again to form a triangle. This will create layers.
- 7
Roll Again
Roll out the triangular dough again gently to about 8 inches in size.
