Chapatti Bread - Flat Bread

Chapatti bread

Ingredients:

-Plain flour         500 g.

-Plain yogurt      2-3 table spoons

-Oil                   2 table spoons

-Sugar               1 table spoon

-Salt                  1 teaspoon

-Warm water     1 mug

-Dried yeast       1 teaspoon

Method

1.Mix yeast and water together and keep aside for 30 minutes.

2.Put all the rest of the ingredients into a big bowl, then add yeast and water mixture into the bowl little by little.

3.Keep kneading the dough until it doesn't stick to the bowl or hands, then keep it covered inside the bowl for 30 minutes. Repeat the kneading and keeping aside process for two more times.

4.Separate the dough into small ball size or egg size and you would get around 12-15 balls of dough.

5.Flatten the dough and using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a thin flat circle.  Use enough flour to ensure the dough does not stick to the rolling pin.

6.Transfer the thin dough to a heated pan. Cook the flat thin dough in low heat for 1 minute. You should see the bread rising with air inside.

7.Steps 5 &6 above should be conducted in tandem for best results.

8.Use a wet cloth to wipe out any excess flour from the pan.

***Note- The dough recipe can be used for a pizza base as well. 

              - Don't add yogurt too much because it can make the bread rubbery.
