Dough Ingredients

2 cups Whole wheat flour5/8 tsp (3 ml) Water1 tsp Celtic sea salt2 tbs Butter

Method

Preparation Steps

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Shape the Roti

After resting, divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball). Dust a flat surface with flour and roll each ball into a flat disc, about 6-8 inches in diameter.

Cook the Roti

Heat a tawa or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each rolled roti for about 1-2 minutes on each side until it puffs up and has golden brown spots. Add a little butter on top while cooking if desired.

Serve

Once cooked, stack the rotis in a container and brush with more melted butter before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite curry or side dish.
