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 />
