Rice & Bread<br />
55BI usually make this dough once per week, which is four times the above recipe. <strong>The</strong><br />
covered dough will last nicely in the fridge for a week.<br />
56BSimply kneed the yoghurt, salt and flour together and let it sit for at least 20 minutes.<br />
You want the dough to be free of lumps, moist and slightly sticky and unmanageable<br />
but not sloppy. <strong>The</strong> dough when needed slightly sticks to your hands.<br />
57BDust your hands with white organic flour as well as the rolling pin and board to<br />
make the dough just manageable. If it’s too moist add a little flour, if it’s too dry add<br />
a little water … this way you find a balance.<br />
Heat a non-stick fry pan to a little above low. Flour the board and the rolling pin<br />
with unbleached white flour. Pinch a piece of dough about the size of a large<br />
strawberry. Cover the piece with plain flour (not self-raising). Roll the dough out to<br />
a round shape or near about. <strong>The</strong> dough can spring back so keep at it. If it sticks,<br />
dust with a little flour. A chapatti can be 2-4 ml thick, so roll until you get a fairly<br />
even thickness.<br />
Place the rolled chapatti on the warm skillet or frypan, and turn after about a minute.<br />
After another minute little hollows begin to develop as the dough rises. Turn the<br />
chapatti back over for half a minute while you get the wire ready. Put the chapatti on<br />
the wire and hold it over a UfullU flame, if all goes well it should puff up like a ball.<br />
Turn over and slightly toast the other side. Remove and add ghee or butter or eat as<br />
is with soup or vegies.<br />
