CHAPATI (EAST AFRICAN BREAD)

Chapati (East African Bread) image

This is taken from the Congo Cookbook. Unleavened bread that is very popular and is served with many curry dishes. I am estimating the servings as I have not made this yet. It looks good and simple so I do plan on making.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cooking oil
warm water, as needed

Steps:

All ingredients should be allowed to come to room temperature if they have been in the refrigerator.
Mix flour and salt in a bowl.
Slowly mix in enough water to make a thick dough.
Mix in one spoonful oil.
Knead dough on a cool surface for a few minutes, adding a few spoonfuls of dry flour.
Return dough to the bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rest for thirty minutes.
Lightly grease (with cooking oil) and pre-heat a skillet or griddle.
Divide the dough into orange-sized balls. Flatten them into six-inch circles. Fry them in the skillet or griddle, turning once, until each side is golden brown and spotted.
Place in warm oven as they are done and serve with butter and any curry, stew or soup dish.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a success. The chapatis are always soft and fluffy, and they never stick to the pan.

I'm always looking for new bread recipes to try, and this one definitely didn't disappoint. The chapatis are light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. They're perfect for wrapping around curries or stews.

I was a bit skeptical about making chapati from scratch, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The chapatis are delicious and so much better than the store-bought ones.

I'm not a huge fan of chapati, but I have to admit that this recipe is pretty good. The chapatis are soft and chewy, and the flavor is mild and inoffensive.
