Today I made chapatis for bread for sandwiches for lunch instead of going to the store. I also made my own frosting (2 flavors—vanilla and chocolate, and 3 colors—red, yellow, blue [I had food coloring sitting around].
I’m a big fan of chapatis. The recipe I have is from a Vacation Bible School that I helped with about 6 years ago. Recipe makes 3.
3/4c flour. 1/4t salt. 1t oil. 1/4c water.
- Measure 1/2c flour and 1/4t salt into mixing bowl. The rest of the flour is for kneading and rolling out.)
- Mix in 1t oil.
- Add 1/4c water and stir until dough holds together.
- Knead dough on lightly floured surface until smooth. (About 5 min. )
- Divide dough into 3 balls.
- Muse rolling pin to flatten each ball into a circle about 6 inches (15cm) across.
- Brown each chapati in a warm, oiled skillet. If it luffs up, press it down gently with a spatula.
