Roti Bread Recipe

How to make it

---

• In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and water. Add more water if the dough is too hard. Knead the dough well to make a medium soft dough. The dough should be soft but not stick to your hand.( if it does, I use olive oil to coat my hands and put some at the bottom of the bowl and roll my dough) Set the dough aside and cover with a damp cloth. Let the dough rest for at least ten minutes before you start rolling.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Make smooth ball and press flat. Take 1 ball; press it in dry flour from both sides and start rolling to a 6-inch diameter circle. If the dough starts sticking, dust it with more flour.
• Heat the skillet on medium high heat. Note: An iron skillet works best. To see if the skillet is ready, put a couple of drops of water on it. If the water sizzles right away, the skillet is ready.
• Put the rolled roti on the skillet. You will see the roti puff in different places and change color. Turn the roti over. Flip again after a few seconds. Take a flat spatula and press lightly on the puffed parts of the roti. This will help the roti completely puff. Flip the roti again. The roti should have light golden-brown spots on both sides. Butter the heated side of the roti (the side that is facing the skillet).
• Make sure to put the rotis in a container with a paper towel covering the bottom. Make sure to cover the container after each roti is made. This will keep the steam in and ensure the rotis are soft.
