Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp oil

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
2. Gradually add water while kneading the mixture to form a smooth dough. Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into small balls of equal size.
5. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball on a floured surface to form a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
6. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place one chapati on the skillet and cook for about a minute or until bubbles start to form.
7. Flip the chapati using a spatula and cook the other side for another minute, or until golden brown spots appear.
8. Brush each cooked chapati with a little oil to keep them soft, then stack them on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm until serving.
