Ingredients for Cheesy Roti

Method

Instructions for Cheesy Roti

1

Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil while mixing to form a soft dough. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

Divide and Roll

After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it with a rolling pin into a thin circle.

3

Add Cheese

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over half of each roti. Fold the other half over to cover the cheese, creating a half-moon shape.

4

Cook the Roti

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded roti on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Brush with melted butter while cooking.

5

Serve

Cut the cheesy roti into wedges and serve hot with your choice of sides such as avocado, salsa, or yogurt.
