Chapati with Coconut-Peanut Butter

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

  1. Combine flour and salt in a bowl, then stir in water until a stiff dough forms. Let rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat a skillet over medium to medium high heat.
  3. On a floured surface, take small bits of dough (a bit larger than golf ball size) and roll out to 1/4 inch rounds.
  4. Cook the rounds for 30 to 60 seconds per side. Be careful not to overcook!
  5. Serve warm with your choice of toppings (see my favorite below), or plain if you like.
