Unleavened Bread or Chapattis
Unleavened bread is simply bread made with only flour and water. There is
no yeast added, so there is no need to allow the dough to rise before cooking
it. As a result, the bread is flat and crunchy, almost like a cracker. For
this delectable unleavened bread (chapattis) bread recipe, you will need:
8 ounces of plain whole meal bread
Salt
This recipe will make six small discs of bread.
1. In a large bowl, combine the 8 ounces of flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Warm 1/4 pint of water in either the microwave or on the stovetop and add
that to the flour mixture.
2. Knead the dough well. After kneading, cover the dough and allow it to sit
for 30 minutes.
3. Cut off a piece of dough a little large than the size of your thumb. Sprinkle
flour on the counter and roll the small piece of dough into a 8 inch disc.
4. Place a large skillet with a bit of oil over medium heat. Place the disc
of bread in the skillet and let it cook until brown. Be sure to turn the bread
over to allow both sides to cook.
5. Continue steps 3 and 4 to make the additional discs of bread.
