Roti Canai is a popular and delicious flatbread from Malaysia, known for its flaky texture and rich taste. Often enjoyed with curry or as a standalone snack, roti canai is a versatile dish that can be prepared at home with a few simple ingredients. In this recipe, we'll combine milk, butter, egg, and sugar to create a soft and buttery dough that will be transformed into golden, crispy roti canai.
- Use room temperature ingredients: Make sure the milk, butter, and egg are at room temperature before you begin. This will help them combine more smoothly and create a better dough consistency.
- Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough is essential for developing gluten, which gives roti canai its characteristic chewiness and flakiness. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rest: Allowing the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes helps it relax, making it easier to roll out thin and achieve the desired flaky layers.
- Use plenty of butter: When folding and stretching the dough, be generous with the butter between layers. This will enhance the flakiness and flavor of the final roti canai.
- Cook on medium heat: Cooking the roti canai on medium heat ensures that it cooks through evenly without burning the outside. It will also help achieve the golden, crispy texture.
Making roti canai at home is a rewarding experience that results in a delicious and versatile flatbread. With its soft, layered texture and buttery flavor, it's perfect for pairing with your favorite curry or enjoying on its own. By following this recipe and adding your personal touch, you'll be able to create a dish that's sure to impress friends and family.
