Chapati Bread (Phulka)
- add review
- #17602
Chapati, an unleavened flatbread, is also known as roti or phulka and is common in India, East Africa, and Asia. Phulka literally translates to "puffed" which describes how the bread puffs up while cooking. The cooked chapati is often spread with ghee (clarified butter) before serving with curries or lentils.

ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup water
directions
Combine the flour and water in a large bowl. Blend the mixture together until it forms a dough, adding additional water if needed. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Set the dough aside to rest for 30 minutes.
After it has rested, divide the dough into 4 to 6 pieces of equal size. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten like a tortilla, about 1/8th inch thick.
Heat a heavy, ungreased skillet. Place the flattened dough on it, one piece at a time (cover the other dough pieces with a damp tea towel while they wait their turn), and let it cook for one minute. Small bubbles will start to form and the top will look dry. Turn and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form again. Turn the chapati over again and press it carefully with a towel so it puffs up.
Serve warm.
