-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups spelt flour -- or whole-wheat flour, plus
more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil -- divided
1/4 cup water -- plus
1 tablespoon water -- plus more as needed
This healthy, whole-grain Indian flatbread recipe, known as chapati,
is a breeze to throw together at a moment's notice and is ideal for
scooping up dal and other thick soups. Spelt is a whole grain related
to wheat that adds a nutty flavor, but whole-wheat flour works well too.
Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add 1T oil and mix with your
fingers until crumbly. Slowly add water and mix until the dough just
comes together. If the dough doesn't come together easily, mix in up
to 2T more water. Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough
is smooth and no longer sticks to your fingers, about 2 minutes.
Cover with a damp cloth; let rest for at least 15 and up to 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 balls and cover with a damp cloth. Lightly
flour a rolling pin and a clean work surface. Flatten 1 dough ball
and roll it out, picking it up and rotating it to make sure it isn't
sticking, until very thin and about 5" in diameter. Transfer to a
lightly floured baking sheet and loosely cover with plastic wrap or a
towel. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the breads on baking
sheets so they don't touch.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet, heavy skillet or griddle over
medium-high heat. Add one bread and cook until small bubbles appear,
30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip, then brush the top side with a little
of the remaining oil and cook until lightly puffed, 30 seconds to 1
minute more. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Repeat with the remaining breads, stacking and covering them as you
go to keep them warm and pliable.
