Homemade Roti
INGREDIENTS METHOD
2½ cups self-raising flour Mix flour and vegetable oil together
in a bowl.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup warm water
Add the water slowly, stirring as you
go, until the dough starts to come
together. Keep stirring, adding a little
more water if the dough is dry, until
the dough pulls away from the sides
and forms a ball.
Turn the dough out onto the bench
and knead, adding a little flour if
the dough is too sticky. The dough
should be soft, but not sticky
enough to adhere to your hands or
the bench.
Cover dough with a damp cloth and
rest for 10 minutes.
Roll the dough into a large circle,
about 6mm thick. Spread about
1 teaspoon vegetable oil over the
surface and roll the dough into a
long roll.
Cut the dough into 8 to 10 pieces.
Roll each piece out flat into a 6-inch
circle. Let circles rest, covered with a
damp cloth, for 5 minutes.
Heat a flat heavy griddle or skillet (a
cast-iron skillet or crepe pan works
well) over low to medium heat.
Roll the first circle of dough out as
thin as possible (to about an 8- to
9-inch circle).
Add about 1 teaspoon oil to the
skillet. Place dough in a hot skillet.
Cook until the bread puffs up and
turns light brown on the skillet side,
1 to 2 minutes. Slide bread to the
side of the pan with your fingers, and
quickly flip to brown the other side,
cooking for about 1 to 2 minutes
more.
