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.

Time 1h

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

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.

  • 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.

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.
