Roti

Roti, a staple in many Asian cuisines, is a versatile and delicious flatbread that pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes. Whether you're enjoying it with curry, using it as a wrap, or eating it plain, roti is sure to add a comforting touch to any meal. With simple ingredients and straightforward preparation, making roti at home is easy and rewarding.

Ingredients:

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
2 cups bread flour
300g
1 tsp salt
5g
1.50 cups water
380g
1/4 cup butter
54g

Instructions:

3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a clean, floured surface and begin to knead. Knead the dough for about 10-12 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more all-purpose flour as needed.
4. Rest the Dough: Place the kneaded dough back into the mixing bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes. This resting period will help the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to roll out.
2. Roll Out the Dough Balls: Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Take each ball and roll it into a thin, round disc, approximately 6-8 inches in diameter. Try to make the discs as uniform in thickness as possible for even cooking.
2. Cook Each Roti: Place one rolled-out dough disc onto the hot pan. Cook for about 30 seconds or until you see bubbles starting to form on the surface.
3. Flip the Roti: Flip the roti using tongs or a spatula. Cook the other side for another 30 seconds. The roti should puff up slightly and have light brown spots on both sides.
4. Butter the Roti: Once the roti is cooked, remove it from the pan and brush it with a little melted butter. Place it on a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm while you cook the remaining roti.

Tips:

- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh flour and other ingredients for the best results. Fresh flour makes the dough easier to work with and results in softer roti.

- Let the Dough Rest: Allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps the gluten to relax and makes the dough easier to roll out.

- Roll Evenly: When rolling the dough, try to maintain an even thickness throughout to ensure they cook evenly.

- Cook on a Hot Griddle: Ensure your griddle or pan is hot before cooking the roti. This helps them puff up and cook quickly.

- Apply Butter: For extra flavor, brush the roti with melted butter after cooking. This keeps them soft and adds a delicious richness.

With a little practice, you'll find that making roti at home is a simple and satisfying process. The golden-brown, soft, and slightly crispy texture of homemade roti is unbeatable. Serve it warm, and watch it become a beloved part of your meal lineup. Enjoy the delicious result of your efforts!
