CHAPATI (EAST AFRICAN BREAD)



Chapati (East African Bread) image

Adopted from Indian cuisine, chapatis have been a part of East African cuisine for centuries. The East African recipe is slightly different from its Indian counterpart. This bread accompanies African soups and stews well. Preparation is minimal, making this a great choice for cooks that are in a pinch.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup warm water, or as needed
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Mix 2 cups flour and salt together in a bowl. Slowly mix in enough water to make a thick dough. Mix in oil until combined.
  • Knead dough on a cool surface for a few minutes, adding a few spoonfuls of flour. Return dough to the bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Divide dough into orange-sized balls. Flatten into 6-inch circles. Fry in batches in the hot skillet, turning once, until golden brown and spotted, 6 to 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Keep chapatis warm in the oven.

Time 25m

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

140g wholemeal flour
140g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing
180ml hot water or as needed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the flours and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the olive oil and enough water to make a soft dough that is elastic but not sticky.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-10 mins until it is smooth. Divide into 10 pieces, or less if you want bigger breads. Roll each piece into a ball. Let rest for a few mins.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat until hot, and grease lightly. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out the balls of dough until very thin like a tortilla.
  • When the pan starts smoking, put a chapati on it. Cook until the underside has brown spots, about 30 seconds, then flip and cook on the other side. Put on a plate and keep warm while you cook the rest of the chapatis.
