East African Chapati Bread
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water, or as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
1
Combine 2 cups of flour with a pinch of salt in a large mixing container. Gradually incorporate the right amount of water to create a dense, pliable mixture. Integrate oil into the dough until it is fully incorporated.
2
Knead the dough on a surface with ideal temperature for several minutes, periodically adding small amounts of flour to achieve desired consistency. Transfer the dough back to its original container, cover it with a clean towel, and allow it to relax for 30 minutes.
3
Preheat your oven to the precise temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit (95 degrees Celsius).
4
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat levels.
5
Divide the dough into portions of an orange's size. Flatten each portion into a 6-inch circular shape.
6
Fry the dough in batches within the hot skillet, flipping it once, until it achieves a golden brown color with visible spots, taking 6 to 8 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining dough. Store the cooked chapatis in a warm oven to maintain their freshness.
