Title: Chapatis
Categories: Breads, Indian
Yield: 15 servings
2 1/2 c Whole wheat bread flour
2 1/2 c Whole wheat pastry flour
(more if needed)
1/2 ts Sea salt
2 c Water, cold
In a large mixing bowl, mix 2 cups of the whole wheat bread flour, 2
cups of the whole wheat pastry flour, the salt and water. Add more
flour (another 1/2 cup or so), beating with a wooden spoon until the
dough is smooth and elastic. Put the dough onto a floured board and
knead for a few minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes and knead
again, adding more flour as needed. The dough consistency should
feel like an ear lobe when you pinch it.
Pinch pieces off and roll them into 15 balls about the size of a lime
or small lemon. Dip each ball into flour and set on the board, the
floured side down. When all the dough is used up, roll out each
ball, rolling from the center out to form a circle about 1/8-inch
thick. Use additional flour when to keep the chapatis from sticking
to the board -- be liberal with the flour.
When all of the chapatis are rolled out, heat a griddle or cast-iron
pan on medium heat. When hot, put chapati into the griddle/pan. Cook
for 1 to 2 minute(s) on one side about 1 minute on the other until it
forms little bubbles but it is still soft, not stiff. Then set over
the stove burner on an open flame on low to medium heat. (The chapati
should sit on top of the stove burner.) Let the chapati sit on the
burner for a minute and flip. Allow it to fill with hot air. A
perfect chapati will puff up like a balloon. Using tongs, pull the
chapati off the heat and stack the hot chapatis on top of one
another. They'll stay hot for a while this way.
To cool, spread the chapatis out and allow steam to rise. Do not
allow the chapatis to sit longer than 10 minutes after cooking or
they will dry out. Wrap them well in plastic wrap or place them a
plastic bag and they will last for days refrigerated. Or freeze some
and pull out a few hours before needed. Delicious with curry, or
make a sandwich with them.
Makes 15 chapatis.
NOTE: If you have an electric stove you will have difficulty in
getting the chapatis to puff up on your coils. An open flame is the
secret to cooking the insides while keeping the chapati soft and
flexible.

Chapatis are a flat bread that originated in India. At the cafe we
make a whole wheat version and serve them stuffed with various
fillings.
