2 1/4 c Durum flour
1/2 ts Sea salt
1 tb Canola oil
2/3 c -Very warm water
Combine flours and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Mix in oil and water to form a stiff dough, adding more water if
necessary. Remove dough from bowl and knead on a lightly floured surface
until smooth, about 5 minutes.
Return dough to bowl, cover with a towel and set aside in a warm place for
one hour.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 14 equal
portions. Roll each piece into a ball and cover with a damp towel.
Heat an ungreased griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Working
with one ball of dough at a time, flatten it, then roll into a 6″ circle,
using only enough flour to keep dough from sticking. When griddle is hot,
pick up dough, shake off excess flour and place it on a hot pan. Cook
until brown spots appear, about one minute. Flip dough over and cook on
other side. (Chapati may puff up while cooking.)
Cover and place in a warm oven while cooking remaining chapatis.
