Everyday chapati
Golden layers, a warm pan and a table ready to share. A simple starting point for a familiar favourite.
Let’s make it.
Bring the dough together
Mix the flour and salt. Add the oil, then add warm water a little at a time while mixing until a soft dough comes together. The amount of water may vary with the flour.
Knead, then rest
Knead until smooth and pliable. Cover and let the dough rest for about 20 minutes. Divide into six portions.
Roll your layers
Roll each portion into a thin circle. Lightly brush with oil, roll into a rope and coil it into a spiral. Rest briefly, then roll each spiral into a round again.
Cook and share
Heat a heavy pan over medium heat. Cook each round on both sides, lightly brushing with oil as needed, until cooked through with golden patches. Adjust the heat if it browns before cooking evenly. Serve warm.
Use water gradually and give the dough time to rest. A relaxed dough is easier to roll.
Adjust to your ingredients and equipment and follow product directions. Images show serving inspiration.
