I originally saw these flatbreads on Guy's Big Bite, then again in another cookbook and decided to give them a whirl. I love 'em because they are super easy to make and would go well with a lot of different flavors. I also make mine entirely with whole wheat flour. Yes, it may sound a bit scary, but I think it works. Feel free to stick to the "real" recipe and use regular flour.
Chapatis
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup water
Method
- Combine flour and salt in a bowl, then stir in water until a stiff dough forms. Let rest for 20 minutes.
- Preheat a skillet over medium to medium high heat.
- On a floured surface, take small bits of dough (a bit larger than golf ball size) and roll out to 1/4 inch rounds.
- Cook the rounds for 30 to 60 seconds per side. Be careful not to overcook!
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings (see my favorite below), or plain if you like.
Coconut Peanut Butter
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp coconut milk
Method
- Combine ingredients well.
