Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2/3 cup Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour and 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds.
Step 2
Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the flour mixture. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the flour and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 4
Gradually add 2/3 cup of warm water, mixing continuously until the dough starts to come together.
Step 5
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour; if it is too dry, add a little more water.
Step 6
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
Divide the rested dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Step 8
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Step 9
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 10
Cook each rolled-out chapathi on the preheated skillet for about 30 seconds or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Step 11
Flip the chapathi and cook for another 30-40 seconds on the other side until golden brown spots appear.
Step 12
Optionally, press the edges gently with a spatula to encourage puffing for a minute or so, ensuring both sides are cooked through.
Step 13
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Step 14
Serve the chapathis warm, optionally with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for flavor.
